Previwo is a biotechnology company, based in Oslo, Norway, that researches, develops, and produces biologicals such as probiotics and vaccines for better fish health. Previwo is committed promoting the use of sustainable biological solutions to improve fish welfare and farm productivity. Previwo’s first product; Stembiont™, is easy-to-use probiotic application, delivered through water, usually in the anaesthetic bath in conjunction with vaccination. Probiotics are usually considered for application via feed, and act primarily in the intestinal tract, but with our application, their beneficial effects extend throughout the body. This is evidenced by reduction in the risk of parasitic infection with salmon lice, bacterial ulcer disease, improved growth rates and survival in farmed salmon.
‘We are confident that Carolina, with her background and international roles, will add valuable competence to the scale-up of the Company in this key phase’ CEO, Kira Salonius tells. ‘With our innovative microbial solutions available in Norway and existing markets in Faroes and Iceland, together with market expansion plans in Chile, Canada, UK and EU, we are well positioned to contribute conferred health benefits to farmed fish globally’.
