German chemical group, Evonik, is looking to promote its methionine product, MetAMINO, in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) based on what it sees as encouraging developments in meat production in those markets.
The growth rate in demand for liquid methionine is expected to be higher than powder methionine due to industrialization of the feed industry in China and in India as well as in other developing countries, says Adisseo.
Research at Aalborg University in Denmark suggests that green bio-refinery processes have the potential to generate organic protein-rich animal feeds from green crops for pigs, poultry and dairy cows.
Leading fish feed formulation and nutrition experts from NIFES, Coppens, Alltech and Canda’s Center for Aquaculture Technologies will discuss industry hot button topics during our webinar tomorrow, December 6.
Scientists at Rutgers University have genetically engineered maize with a high content of the key amino acid methionine, a discovery that has the potential to reduce feed costs by eliminating the need for supplementation with synthetic methionine.
Dispatches from EAAP/Ajinomoto Amino Acid Academy, Paris
Primary processing may reduce the amino acid levels and amino acid digestibility in feed materials, factors currently not accounted for in feed tables, says a Dutch academic.

The updated INRA-CIRAD-AFZ feed value tables take account of new ruminant feeding system, novel ingredients such as insects as well as environmental impact data, says one of the developers.
The need for broader investigation of the role of amino acids in animal nutrition was the central theme emerging fromt the Amino Acid Academy in Paris last week.
Supplemental enzymes and multicarbohydrase may improve weaned pigs digestion of crude protein from soy-based feed ingredients, however current digestibility values may be miscalculated, say researchers.
A new formulation tool from German chemical group, Evonik, is aimed at increasing production efficiency in tilapia aquaculture, by helping the sector to formulate on an ideal protein basis.
Fishmeal prices have softened and look like they are going to stay at that level for the mid-term, a trend that could weigh heavily on the fortunes of many an alternative protein business targeting the aquaculture sector, says an analyst.
In the second of our two articles on his work into protein alternatives, Marinus van Krimpen, animal nutrition researcher, Wageningen Livestock Research, tells us about insights gleaned in a study evaluating the potential of free amino acids as partial...
This month, as we look at projects aimed at developing novel sources of proteins for animal feed, we also dip into the archive to give you a flavour of some of our previous coverage on this topic.
Dutch researchers are weighing up the benefits of seaweed, grass, and microalgae as novel protein sources as well as analyzing the impact of increasing the content of synthetic amino acids in poultry feed as a way of reducing dependence on meal from imported...
NIR technology is moving beyond analysis of traditional components such as fibre and protein to include measurements of phytate, energy and reactive lysine, says AB Vista.
Dutch group, Barentz, says its animal nutrition portfolio has been strengthened through the acquisition of the majority shares in feed additives trader and distributor, Globe Ingredients.
The European Commission (EC) has adopted regulation enabling meal produced from wild starfish and aquatic invertebrates to be used to make fishmeal for pig and poultry feed.
The EU Commission (EC) has approved the use of the additive L-threonine produced by fermentation with E. coli for production of feed for all animal species.
An EU protein policy recognizing the contributions made by foliar legumes, lupins and soy, as well as peas and beans is said to be a key way to reduce the bloc's dependency on imported soy for livestock production.
Feed additive innovation at Evonik has been earmarked as one of six R&D pillars that will contribute over €1 billion (bn) in additional sales by the year 2025 for the group.
A new German start-up, SenseUp, has developed rapid fire microbial strain screening technology and is now planning to apply that to the large-scale production of amino acids as well as enzymes for feed and food.
Researchers studying the impact of adding two yeast products to dairy cattle diets, found no evidence to suggest a ruminal effect but they saw increased energetic output with the cultures, suggesting higher absorption efficiency.
