EKOME means oneness.
It is a word from Ga, a language of southern Ghana. We chose it because it names the relationship between an animal and the community of organisms that turn its feed into energy. We are one with nature, and that circle runs on the microorganisms we harness in our formulations.
We are microbiome specialists. It is one discipline, held deliberately narrow and pursued in depth.
The microbial community is the mechanism. We build it on purpose.
The industry needs to change the way it treats animals.
EKOME began because we want to change the reactive mindset the industry has developed, which glosses over the fundamental issue. Commercial operations have been optimised to the point where growers spend excessive amounts fixing wellbeing problems. By reducing reliance on broad-spectrum antibiotics, which also damage the microbial communities an animal depends on, and by improving the general resilience of our animals, we can raise yield and improve production efficiency in a humane way.
An animal’s gut carries a dense microbial community that decides how much of a ration is recovered, how the immune system is trained, and how much room an opportunist has to grow. It is the mechanism.
So we set the company up around one discipline. Understand the community. Choose each organism for a defined job. Declare what is in the sack, and name the evidence it rests on.
“The oldest wisdom, proven and harnessed.”
Long before anyone could see a bacterium, farmers understood that a healthy animal is a balanced one, and that balance is something you keep. That wisdom is theirs. Ours is simply the generation with the instruments to measure it.
Three commitments we hold to.
Precision over volume
We sell a small range that does a specific job. Every organism we carry earns its place against a defined function, and only a handful of candidates clear that bar.
It keeps our catalogue short
Transparency over marketing
We publish what is in the sack and where every figure came from, and we give you the full state of the evidence in the first conversation.
It costs us easy claims
Partnership over transactions
Support is part of the product. We work alongside nutrition teams on inclusion, mill conditions and trial design, and we ask for the result either way.
It makes us slower to scale
TWO MARKETS, ONE THREAD
Ghana and the United Kingdom.
The name comes from Ghana. The manufacturing is in the United Kingdom. We are based in London, and we sell into both markets by deliberate choice.
Ghanaian poultry production is growing quickly and carries the same pressures the UK sector has spent two decades working through: feed cost, gut health, and a steady tightening around routine antimicrobial use. The technical answers travel, and we send the support with them — the person who will look at your conditioning temperatures, or sit down with a nutritionist and design a trial worth running.
Building that capability in both places is the part of this we care most about getting right.
At the beginning, and saying so.
EKOME Bio is pre-launch. We have run no commercial trials of our own, we hold no results from a working mill, and we have no customer whose name we can put on a page. Every figure you will find on this site belongs to somebody else and is attributed to them.
What we have done is the slower part. We have spent our first stretch reading rather than selling: working out which organisms have a defensible case behind them, which do not, and where the honest gaps sit. That work decided our formulations, and it is available to any technical team that wants to interrogate it.
What we need next is partners. Feed manufacturers, integrators and distributors willing to put a defined product through a real mill and a real house, and to tell us plainly what happened. That is how a company like this earns the right to make claims — not by writing them first.
Oneness. Balance. Resilience. Everything else is still to be proved.
Come and test us on it.
We work with feed manufacturers, integrators and distributors on specification, mill conditions and trial design, and we respond within two working days. Bring the awkward questions first — they are the ones worth our time and yours.
