DSM to supply vitamin premixes in China

DSM recently entered into a partnership with Yunnan Shennong Agriculture Group to supply its Optimum Vitamin Nutrition (OVN^®) Premix in Yunnan province in south west China.

DSM aims to produce 500,000 tonnes of OVN^® feed per annum within three years.

The company already has an agreement with Conti Chia Tai Group in Guangdong for the production on OVN^® eggs."

J. Nathan Bird, VP Animal Nutrition & Health in China, said that the OVN approach allows closer control of vitamin and trace element nutrition which can be tailored for egg, poultry meat, pork, fish and milk production.
