About Herbonis Animal Health
Herbonis Animal Health GmbH, based in Augst, Switzerland, is a life sciences company founded in 2001 that specializes in natural solutions for animal nutrition. The core of the product range is the plant Solanum glaucophyllum, which contains the bioactive form of vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3). Products based on it, such as Panbonis®, support vitamin D metabolism and eggshell quality in poultry and pigs, while Panbovine® and the Solbone® Bolus are used for the prevention of milk fever in dairy cows. Production is carried out in accordance with the Swiss feed ordinances (SR 916.307 and SR 916.307.1) using a HACCP concept. Following the acquisition by Innovad (2023) and the founding of the Innovad Group (2024), the company distributes its specialty feeds through a worldwide distribution and partner network.
