Overview

Dairy and seafood processing industries generate significant volumes of nutrient-rich byproducts each year, yet managing this waste remains costly and inefficient. This technology from Ohio State University converts these byproducts into stable, functional feed additives—providing a practical alternative to traditional ingredients sourced from limited marine supplies. This innovative fermentation process yields essential peptides and amino acids to enhance feed stability, digestibility, and animal health, enabling the development of high-performance products for aquaculture, livestock, and pet nutrition.

The Opportunity
Market demand for sustainable, performance-oriented feed ingredients is accelerating across animal nutrition sectors. By integrating this process, manufacturers can convert waste liabilities into value-added ingredients, reduce disposal costs, and introduce new product lines aligned with sustainability and ESG targets.

Key Advantages

• Profitability: Turns production waste into premium feed additives.
• Functional Performance: Demonstrated equivalency to leading commercial attractants.
• Operational Savings: Reduces waste management costs and supports resource efficiency.
• Multi-Sector Applicability: Suitable for aquafeed, livestock, and pet food markets.
• Sustainability Leadership: Enables circular economy and ESG-driven branding.
