Animal feed, NDFD, fiber digestibility, enzymes
We are looking to join a partnership focused on innovative animal feed solutions. We provide a biotech additive—derived from spent mushroom substrate (SMS)—engineered to enhance fiber degradability in high-fiber forages, demonstrating an NDFD increase of up to 35%. Currently at TRL 4–5, we have successfully validated the stabilization of the enzymatic extract into a powder and its in vitro efficacy. We are seeking partners to reach TRL 7 through in vivo trials and industrial scale-up. With extensive facilities in the biotech and agricultural sectors, our focus is on circular bioeconomy and the application of new bioactive compounds in animal nutrition
