BLACK & VEATCH COMPLETES WORLD'S FIRST COMMERCIAL-SCALE ALTERNATIVE ANIMAL FEED PRODUCTION FACILITY

Using less land, water and energy than other protein producers, Calysseo’s bio-fermentation facility will produce 20,000 tons of FeedKind^® annually

BEIJING, Aug 18 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- With demand for protein from the world’s rapidly growing population expected to rise, commissioning is now underway at the world’s first industrial-scale FeedKind^® facility in Chongqing, China.

The facility, designed and built ahead-of-schedule by a consortium of Black & Veatch and Shanghai LBT Engineering & Technology Co. Ltd., will produce 20,000 tons of low carbon animal feed annually.

The facility was developed by Calysseo Chongqing Co Ltd., a joint venture between worldwide animal nutrition leader Adisseo and protein innovator Calysta.

FeedKind^® is an alternative feed ingredient for the aquaculture and animal feed industry produced via natural fermentation that does not use arable land, animal or plant ingredients, and uses very little water in its production.
