"Enzyme Enhancers for Pig Feed"


Action Summary

Our goal for this project is to transform the pig farming industry by improving the growth, health, and feed efficiency of pigs. We aim to achieve this through the introduction of new enzymes in pig feed, thus contributing to more sustainable and higher-quality farming practices.

  1. Customer Discovery and Unmet Needs🐷

    2. By investigating the market and consulting directly with pig farmers, the “Enzyme Enhancers for Pig Feed” project identified the following key customers:

    1. 🐖Pig farmers aiming to reduce costs and enhance feed efficiency.
    2. 🌱Organic pig farmers searching for natural feed enhancements.
    3. 🏭Feed factories interested in incorporating these solutions into their products.
    🚩Unmet Needs:
    1. Current feeds lack the ability to optimize nutrient absorption, resulting in inefficiencies.
    2. 🐽Farmers are seeking solutions to improve pig health and growth rates.
    3. The pig feed industry lacks natural and effective enzymes.
    4. 🔍There is a need for specialized solutions tailored for pig feed.
  2. ⚙️Feasibility, Scalability, and Innovation

    3. 🧪Feasibility: Our team has conducted preliminary trials demonstrating the enzyme’s ability to enhance nutrient absorption and promote pig growth. Laboratory results have confirmed the enzyme's stability and compatibility with current feed formulations.

    📈Scalability: The enzyme production can be scaled using existing biotechnological processes. Contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) are capable of producing larger quantities as demand grows.

    💡Innovation: This enzyme originates from a novel strain of microorganisms, offering an alternative to traditional chemical feed additives. This innovation not only provides a healthier option but also promotes a sustainable solution for the industry.
