Norponin
Features
Norponin® Opti is a premix of additives that contributes to the control of ammonia in livestock production, it is an effective and long-lasting solution to replace Yucca Schidigera.
- Controls/reduces ammonia
- Standardized in extracted saponins
- Replaces Yucca Schidigera
- 100% natural
Issues
Reducing ammonia emissions is a major challenge in animal production to limit the risk of respiratory diseases and improve working conditions. One of the solutions to limit ammonia emissions is the inclusion of plant supplements rich in saponins in the feed ration. The most commonly used plant at present is Yucca schidigera, a plant that is highly coveted in the animal, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries. However, the availability of the resource is very limited, which leads to high price volatility and high heterogeneity in the quality of the final product.
Composition
Norponin® Opti is composed of Camellia sp, Quillaja saponaria, Chenopodium quinoa and Yucca Schidigera powder. All the plants contained in Norponin® Opti are characterized on their concentration in saponins.

Trial results
The benefits of Norponin® Opti supplementation have been documented in numerous trials.
In this trial 468 pigs (10 weeks/30kg) were housed in 3 groups of 162 animals: a control group (CTL) receiving a standard diet, a Yucca schidigera group receiving a standard diet supplemented with 120 g/T of Yucca schidigera and a group supplemented with 120 g /T of Norponin® Opti. After a 4-week period (EXP) with supplementation, weekly ammonia measurements were taken at 30 cm above the walkways (2 measurements at 3 locations for each room per week).
After 4 weeks of Norponin® Opti supplementation, the amount of ammonia produced was reduced by 41% compared to the control group and by 19% compared to pure Yucca Schidigera group.
