SUPPLIER NEWS & INNOVATIONS

This initiative marks the first time Enifer’s PEKILO® fermentation process will be deployed outside of Europe, and the first global use of corn ethanol-derived thin stillage as a feedstock for mycoprotein production.

The new product addresses the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly alternatives without compromising product quality or functionality.

During the 25-year-old partnership, Novonesis was responsible for research, development and production, while dsm-firmenich managed distribution and sales.

The fully integrated plant operates around the clock in three shifts, producing approximately 480 tons of high-quality compound feed daily.

The course combines in-depth theoretical instruction with practical, hands-on training using Bühler’s high-performance twin-screw extruder.

Jens Birgersson succeeds Dr Christian Kohlpaintner, who decided not to renew his contract and is stepping down from his position on August 31, 2025.

Unlike live probiotics, postbiotics are inanimate, and thus retain their beneficial effects even after exposure to high heat, such as during extrusion processes typical in commercial pet food manufacturing.

The unit boasts industry-leading accuracy ±10 to 25 grams on a 5 kg batch and ±1 to 10 grams on 1 kg batches.

The announcement was made as part of dsm-firmenich’s commitment to scaling up Bovaer, a feed additive developed over 15 years to reduce enteric methane emissions in cattle.

Lecithin, derived primarily from soybeans, serves as an effective emulsifier and stabiliser in compound feeds and is prized for its cost-efficiency and functionality in large-scale operations.
