India Witnesses a Paradigm Shift in Animal Nutrition with the Launch of Q-Life
In a groundbreaking initiative set to transform the animal nutrition landscape in India, Canafa, in collaboration with Pathway Intermediates, South Korea, has introduced Q-Life, a 100% natural alternative to anticoccidials. Through a series of high-impact seminars held in Karnal, Chandigarh, and Coimbatore, industry experts and stakeholders gathered to explore the future of sustainable animal health.
A Landmark Initiative in Animal Health
Canafa, a key channel partner for Pathway Intermediates since 2024, has taken a revolutionary step by promoting Q-Life, which aims to replace ionophores or chemical coccidials with a natural, science-backed solution. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the industry, responding to the growing demand for safer and more effective alternatives to traditional anticoccidials.
Q Life: The Future of Coccidiosis Control
Pathway Intermediates highlighted the emerging concerns surrounding drug resistance and chemical residues, which have prompted producers to seek alternative strategies for managing coccidiosis. Among these, phytochemicals have emerged as a promising solution. Derived from herbal plants, phytochemicals offer a natural, bioactive, and sustainable approach to disease management, ensuring both animal health and farm productivity.
Q-Life leverages the power of these phytochemicals, providing a scientifically supported, natural solution to combat coccidiosis while enhancing overall animal performance. By eliminating reliance on chemical-based treatments, this innovative product aligns with global trends toward sustainable and antibiotic-free livestock production.

Expert Insights from Pathway Intermediates
“At Pathway Intermediates, R&D is the foundation of our solutions,” said Mr. YoungWoo Kang, Regional Manager, Pathway Intermediates. “Our global R&D network enables comprehensive coverage of animal nutrition research, from molecular biology to large-scale industrial field trials. This ensures that our solutions, like Q-Life, are both effective and future-ready.”
Additionally, Mr. Young emphasized that verification is a critical component of the R&D process. Pathway Intermediates continuously validates its solutions through an extensive research infrastructure, which includes 10 feed plants, farms housing over 30,000 sows, facilities producing 135 million market-ready birds annually, and dedicated beef cattle farms. This robust framework ensures the comprehensive evaluation of scientific innovations, delivering solutions that are both highly reliable and industry-proven.
He also highlighted that Q-Life exhibits efficacy across the entire life cycle of Eimeria, encompassing all three stages—sexual, asexual, and environmental—thereby providing comprehensive coccidiosis control. In contrast, most conventional products target only the sexual and asexual stages, leaving the environmental stage inadequately addressed. This unique capability makes Q-Life a superior and holistic solution for effectively managing Eimeria, ultimately enhancing animal health, productivity, and overall farm performance.
He further outlined the key features that set Q-Life apart:
The tannins in Q-Life are microencapsulated, allowing for the controlled release of active ingredients throughout the intestine. This ensures optimal efficacy and prolonged action, enhancing its impact on coccidiosis management.Q-Life is formulated with over 60 phytogenic ingredients, which work synergistically to deliver robust protection against multiple Eimeria species, ensuring comprehensive coccidiosis control. Q-Life is highly adaptable and can be seamlessly integrated into both shuttle and rotation programs alongside anticoccidial drugs. This flexibility allows for effective incorporation into existing disease management strategies, enhancing overall efficacy.
These strategic events will not only reinforce Pathway Intermediates’ presence in the Indian market but will also establish a strong foundation for future collaborations and expanded engagement within the country.
