R&D
Since a foundation of 2003, Lifecome has been devoting his efforts to the development of bacitracin products, not only manufacture but also registration and marketing. As a result, Lifecome builds up worldwide reputation and a lead standing in bacitracin series of products.
Through the vast experiences in success of bacitracin, Lifecome holds a strong competence in the development of microbial fermentation based products, especially antimicrobial peptides, which have unique advantages like less occurrence of resistant pathogens. Based on accumulated expertises, the goal of Lifecome is to be a leader in the animal gut health sector.
