UVL

What UVL does

UVL S.r.l. is a privately held Italian manufacturer of complementary animal feeds, founded in 1977 and headquartered in Roè Volciano (Brescia), Italy. The company develops, produces, and commercializes premixes and complementary feeds centered on prebiotics, probiotics, symbiotics, and phytotherapeutics for intensive livestock operations across four species segments: cattle, buffalo, swine, and poultry. Core technology is grounded in 47+ years of proprietary research into yeasts and derivatives, executed by specialized researchers in dedicated Research and Experimentation centers, and protected by ISO 9001:2015 and FAMI-QS feed-safety certifications.

The product portfolio spans approximately 60+ SKUs organized into species-specific lines (Dairy Line for cattle, Water Buffalo Line for buffalo, Tueri Line and NUTRAPIG for swine, Tueri Line for poultry), with documented performance claims including 70–80% ammonia emission reduction, 85% aflatoxin B1 adsorption, and 2.3 log reduction of environmental pathogens. UVL also serves as the exclusive Italian dealer for Biofiber-Damino products, extending the addressable portfolio.

Commercially, UVL operates a direct B2B model: it sells through a capillary nationwide Italian sales network composed of agents, veterinarians, and managers providing on-farm technical, veterinary, and nutritional assistance, and it supplies the principal Italian feed companies as a primary upstream vendor. International growth is pursued through a foreign office managing distributors and recurring participation in major industry trade fairs (EuroTier, VIV Europe, VIV Asia, VIV MEA). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company has no external institutional investors and no disclosed funding history.
