LABORATORI TURVAL ITALIA SRL

Laboratori Turval Italia Srl operates in the biotechnology sector and was founded by a group of Friulian business professionals from different fields of expertise: biotechnology, ecology and agriculture.

Turval Laboratories counts on a Research and Development department and a microbiological research and control laboratory that is recognised by the Ministry of Research and on collaborations with renowned Italian and foreign research centres. In Friuli Turval collaborates with the Animal Production Department of the University of Udine, the Department of Food Science of the University of Udine, the S. Maria della Misericordia Hospital in Udine and the Regional Livestock Fertilisation Centre.

Turval Laboratories has developed a new natural probiotic –which has been registered in the international bank of strains in Belgium, BCCM, under the name TURVAL B0399 - that will bring substantial benefits to the livestock sector and to that of human and pharmaceutical nutrition as it can improve the quality of animal feed and the quality of milk in cattle and improve the digestive functions in lactose-intolerant people or people undergoing antibiotic treatment or intestinal disorders such as irritable colon.
As part of its product and application study program, Turval has launched over 60 research protocols, half of which have given beneficial results. The researches have been developed with the collaboration of several American and Italian Universities (including the University of Milan, Bologna and Udine).

The activity of Turval Laboratories currently addresses the following fields of research:
• study of the therapeutic effects in humans of the active substance in the gastroenterological, dermatological, infantile and geriatric fields. Also useful for obtaining the ministerial registration as medication (currently the product is recognised by the Ministry of Health as a specific dietary supplement with probiotic functions).
• study of the environmental effects related to the production and administration of the active ingredient.
• study of probiotic applications on pet animals (PET)
