🌱 Our pea fields in Canada, Germany, Spain, and the UK are thriving.🫛🌱 It’s an exciting time for us as we're about to start harvesting and selecting our most advanced ultra-protein varieties!💪 What makes these peas special? We've pushed the boundaries by breeding not just for high protein content, but also for enhanced processing efficiency using our Equinom models. This dual approach aims to boost protein productivity and reduce production costs – a potential game-changer for the plant-based protein industry.🍔🥩🥛 #Plantbased #Peaprotein #Altprotein #FoodInnovation #Foodingredients

Random supply chain rabbit hole of the week. Where does the cobalt come from in a livestock block? And if cobalt is such a critical mineral, why are we letting cows lick it? I thought I was good at the internet, but I cannot answer this supply chain mystery. One of the examples of such a block: https://lnkd.in/gH3ikt4a

⭕ #potassium #nitrite E249 and #sodium nitrite E250 are #foodadditives used as #color #retention agents and #preservatives . ✅ Their #Max Level in 1/Heat-treated processed meat, poultry, and game products in whole pieces or cuts and 2/Processed comminuted meat, poultry, and game products is 80 mg/kg. ☑ Maximum Use Level of an additive: is the highest concentration of the additive determined to be functionally effective in a food or food category and agreed to be safe by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.

🌱 New Cultivated Meat Interview! 🌱 It was a great pleasure to sit down with CellAgri News to discuss the future of cultivated meat. In our conversation, I highlight the critical role of Merck Life Science i n the cultivated meat industry and emphasize the importance of basal media in large-scale production. As mentioned in the interview, cultivated meat producers will need basal media in huge amounts when they scale up. That is why I shed light on our collaborations with various cultivated meat companies and how we provide insights, support, and materials to help optimize cell culture media formulations for scaled production. The role of partnerships in this industry cannot be underestimated. At Merck Life Science, we are truly committed to the future of the food industry.

It’s the goal of every alfalfa grower to harvest and preserve high-quality alfalfa. While plant genetics play a critical role, properly timing the first cutting of the season can also significantly impact the preservation of nutritional quality. Additionally, the first cut of spring regrowth can account for as much as half the season's total yield. Growers need to strike the right balance between quality and yield. https://lnkd.in/gNfBau6C #dynacure #organicforage

Chosen to produce high weights of fat and protein, either in the form of increased milk volumes or high component percentages that will benefit every milk contract, the Holstein bulls in our profit options segment have been especially selected to deliver profitable genetics for the U.K. dairy farmer. Following the Profitable Lifetime Index formula these bulls will produce fertile healthy daughters that live long and productive lives. Daughters will be smaller than average with low maintenance scores to help reduce feed costs and improve the environmental efficiency of milk production. Just one of the segments available in our Spring 2024 Genetic Directory. 🌐 Download our profit option sires segment : https://lnkd.in/e682Wc54

When it comes to establishing reliable net energy (NE) values for soybean meal in commercial swine growing and finishing diets, there’s new information emerging. Dr. Aaron Gaines joins us in this episode to discuss the significant difference in soybean meal NE values determined in academic facilities, with strict environmental controls, and those derived in commercial settings. We’ll discuss what’s driving the differences between environments and what the implications are for the industry.
