Nor-Grape®
Features
Nor-Grape® is an additive composed of natural grape extracts, intended for animal feed and registered in category 2b485.
- Contains grape extracts standardized in polyphenols
- Provides physiologically soluble antioxidants
- Combined with up to 50% vitamin E, provides physiological antioxidant activity equivalent to 100% vitamin E
- 100% natural
- Can be used in organic farming in Europe
The grape polyphenols contained in Nor-Grape® 80 allow to:
- Compensate oxidative stress
- Improve the quality of meat
- Improve the quality of milk
Issues
Oxidative stress is a phenomenon caused by an instability of the oxidative balance in favor of free radicals. It can have important sanitary, zootechnical and economic repercussions in animal husbandry.
The issues related to oxidative stress are multiple, vary from one species to another and also depend on the environment and the animal’s diet. Facing this complexity, it is necessary to understand the antioxidant needs in order to provide them with a diversified and easily assimilated supplementation.
Composition
Nor-Grape®80 is composed of Vitis vinifera grape extract standardized in total polyphenols and on 4 specific phyto markers. This extract is registered in the European Register of Feed Additives under the name of Grape Extract (2b485).
These strict control procedures ensure a constant and unique antioxidant activity.

Trial results
In a trial conducted on 300 sows in Canada, the supplementation of lactating sows with Nor-Grape® showed a significant improvement in the antioxidant parameters of colostrum.
In fact, the colostrum of sows supplemented with Nor-Grape® contained 28% more glutathione peroxidase.
Colostrum quality of the sow
These observations are also correlated with a clear increase in piglet weight at weaning.
The results here show an increase in weight of 5.82% at weaning day for the piglets supplemented with Nor-Grape®.

Usage
Mode of action
The polyphenols contained in Nor-Grape® 80 have a complete antioxidant activity that has been demonstrated by numerous in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo trials.
These polyphenols act at different levels of the antioxidant system:
Various applications
For swine
- Sows: Gestation, lactation, AI
- Piglets: Weaning and post-weaning
- Fattening pigs: Finishing
For aquaculture
Shrimp : post-larvae, start-up, growth, finish, broodstock
Fish : post-larvae, start, growth, finish, broodstock
For poultry
- Layers and breeders: pullets, egg laying peak and egg laying.
- Chicken/Turkey and Broiler duck: start, growth and finish.
For horses
At all stages.
