The 2,500 square meters new plant is fully automated and will quadruple Nor-Feed’s annual production, which a Nor-Feed spokesperson said is sufficient to supplement around 50m metric tons (Mt) of compound feed. “Our products are very concentrated, so they get incorporated at a low dose rate, as little as 10ppm, and on average, 250ppm.”
The plant is also set to benefit from a new patented extraction technology, helping the company to exploit new botanical sources and make their active compounds bioavailable.
“This particular extraction technology was developed a few years ago. We have patented it. Up to now, we have operated it on pilot equipment only. The new set up will be installed next year and will start to operate then,” the representative told us.
The company is engaged in a BCorp certification process to cement its commitment to a more sustainable way of doing business in the years to come.
The new facility, it said, also runs on renewable energy side by side with electricity.
Looking at its botanical product range, from grape extracts to citrus extracts to saponins, and others, the producer said their very conception down to their final use make them sustainable.
“The raw materials come from agricultural industry co-products: grape skin, grape seed, citrus skin, etc. They are manufactured without any chemical solvents and are concentrated to reduce the carbon footprint of their transportation. Plus, they are designed to replace synthetic chemical products.”
