Evonik has released its ‘Europe Raw Material Crop Report 2017.' Using analyses from 5,725 samples of common European crop varieties collected from across 16 countries, the compilation contains the key data on crops from across the continent. “For composing a well-balanced feed it is crucial to know the exact protein content of every single raw material. As these protein contents can vary wildly from year-to-year, especially on a more localized, regional basis, our annual reports help provide the industry with this valuable insight and data."
KnipBio announced it has completed a critical development step with the successful production of KnipBio Meal single cell protein in a 20,000 liter fermentation vessel. "Successfully moving from 1,500-liter to 20,000-liter production is a critical pre-commercialization step and offers solid proof that our fermentation process is highly scalable. To be successful in the aquaculture protein market we must be price-competitive with fishmeal and soy protein, so I was impressed that we managed to reduce production costs by more than 15x with this scale-up. Our next manufacturing goal is achieving full commercial-scale production."
