Lucta to launch virtual library on feed research

Feed additive company will soon launch a virtual library that contains all research papers and other communications on flavours and palatants that were produced regarding its own products.

To make research better available, marketing manager Juan Antonio Javierre has been working for the past two years on collecting, classifying and translating all scientific and technical papers, abstracts and posters that were published related to Lucta research.

Aiming at nutritionists at the feed milling industry and interested people in the scientific world, the presentations will be available in a multi-searchable virtual library in the course of January 2010.

Reference list has been linked to all internal papers involved, and all papers will be available in English and Spanish and will be in high resolution printable PDF format, said Javierre.

Founded in 1949, Lucta is a family-owned company with about 500 employees and a turnover of EUR120 million (US$171 million). The company has operations in Colombia, Mexico, the US, China, Brazil and Poland. It also has its own research farm.
