Research-Driven, by Design
For more than 50 years, BioZyme has made research a core value—not an afterthought. As a purpose-driven company, we intentionally invest in science to remain forward-thinking, innovative, and deeply committed to Care That Comes Full Circle — from discovery to real-world impact. With over 200 studies under our belt, and right at 100 peer-reviewed publications, our research is structured to deliver both mechanistic understanding and in-practice validation.
Making a Real-World Impact
Our research exists to make a difference where it matters most:
- Providing credible, meaningful evidence to support confident buying decisions
- Advancing knowledge around AO’s quality, components, and optimal dosage
- Driving discovery that validates new innovations and fuels future value for producers, dealers, and animals alike
Common Threads
Across multiple studies, Amaferm consistently shows:
- Improved nutrient utilization
- Enhanced digestive efficiency
- Stronger performance
Key Amaferm Research
31 published research studies from multiple Universities demonstrate that feeding Amaferm results in an average increase of fiber nutrient digestibility of 17% and protein nutrient digestibility of 10% as result of its proven ability to support the proliferation of bacteria, fungi and naturally occurring microbial enzymes present in the rumen.

A first of its kind prebiotic, named Amaferm achieves EU zootechnical registration as a digestibility enhancer. This gold standard requires the product to pass evaluation by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) ensuring demonstration of consistent quality, confirmed safety to animals, users, consumers and the environment, and satisfactory demonstration of improved performance in at least three efficacy studies carried out according to stringent EFSA requirements certified by an independent study director.

Published research from Washington State University scientists shows that Amaferm causes a distinct enzymatic response in ruminant microbes. This response is characterized by an increase in the production of enzymes, including amylase, cellulase and beta-glucosidase, that is not associated with the enzymes present in the Amaferm ferment itself.
