Menon Renewable Products, Inc.
Menon Renewable Products, Inc. (Menon) was founded by Dr. Suresh Menon and is based in San Diego, CA. 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®. The ingredient not only overcomes anti-nutritional factors but also replaces various grains, animal, fishmeal and other components inside finished feed products. MrFeed® fulfills increasing worldwide demand for sustainable and renewable feed. It has been proven in aquaculture, poultry and other animal feed applications and has demonstrated superior performance versus traditional feeds in survivability, growth and disease remediation.
MrFeed® represents a disruptive technology that will significantly enhance animal growth and gut health. Through inclusion of a spectrum of unique prebiotics, nucleotides and peptides, MrFeed® enhances digestibility and animal health and reduces the need for antibiotics and other disease remediation treatments. By utilizing agricultural products and related by-products, MrFeed® reduces environmental pressure on other major animal feed ingredients, such as fish meal. Production of MrFeed® reduces the negative carbon footprint generated when these products are otherwise sent to landfill.
