Menon developed a patented process that converts agriculture based raw materials into functional animal feed ingredients under the brand name MrFeed®. Having proven the nutritional performance of MrFeed® worldwide, it is clear that this is the first and only functional ingredient of its kind in the world that has helped numerous species throughout their life cycles.
MrFeed® is an innovative animal feed ingredient with a nutritional profile that enables replacement of non-sustainable ingredients in feed formulations such as Fish Meal, Poultry Meal, Soymeal, SPC and Soy Protein Isolate. The product also allows for reduction of specialty additives such as antibiotics while providing superior digestibility, survivability and growth.
MrFeed® has demonstrated superiority over traditional fish meal based aquaculture feeds in survivability, growth and disease remediation. This has been demonstrated in both controlled lab tests and third party pond trials in the US, Canada, India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Honduras, Panama, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Peru with additional tests underway in Ecuador, Norway, Costa Rica, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and several EU countries
Application for MrFeed® ingredients are in finished diets for Shrimp, Salmon, Trout, other Finfish, Chicken and Pigs. To date, MrFeed® products have shown maximum benefit when included in finished diets from early stages across the entire feeding cycle.
CelTherm™ is a next-generation biomanufacturing process utilizing proprietary microbial enzymes that Menon provides to clients to create custom feed ingredients that support growth, immune system response, survivability and recovery in animals that is well ahead of competitively developed ingredients.
MrFeed® ingredient series is a high-quality hydrolysate made from renewable source of cellulosic sugars using CelTherm® technology.
Menon MrFeed® represents one of the most sustainable aquaculture and livestock feed products that can be produced at scale and at commercially viable costs
The company’s unique biomass conversion process provides a number of key product characteristics that make it attractive to aquaculture. In recent years,
Menon has developed a patented process that converts hydrocarbon based sugars from agriculture based raw materials into a functional animal feed ingredient under the brand name MrFeed®.
Saving the Planet with sustainable animal feed
Alan interviews Suresh Menon.
Early in his career, Dr. Menon sought to end global use of antibiotics in animal feed. His invention, MrFeed®, reduces infection and improves digestibility for animals without antibiotics. Today, MrFeed® sells worldwide, promoting animal health while reducing waste and environmental impact.
