Adisseo recently announced plans to build a new plant for the production of Smartamine® M, the rumen-protected methionine for dairy cows. The plant will be located in Commentry, France.
The plant will be a fully new, state-of-the-art unit. It will incorporate a number of exclusive, patented process innovations.
Smartamine M is suited for non-pelleted protein and feed supplements and mineral & premix operations, while MetaSmart is suited for use in pelleted feeds, liquid feeds, micro machines and high-temperature, abrasive feed mixing conditions.
Smartamine M and MetaSmart provide bio-available methionine for dairy cows. When rations are balanced for methionine, dairy cows typically increase their production, milk protein in particular, and use their diet more efficiently, reducing the environmental burden and improving animal health and fertility. Because lower crude protein levels are fed, producers realise costs savings and environmental benefits from reduced emissions.
The Adisseo Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers of nutritional solutions for animals. It is one of the main subsidiaries of China National BlueStar, a key player in the chemical industry in China with 27,800 staff and a turnover of EUR6.3 billion (US$8.3 million).
