Major players of animal production attracted to Novus International’s ALIMET® event

Executives and producers from Latin America met in the US to hear the success story of liquid methionine and its results on farms

Global animal nutrition company, Novus International, Inc., this week hosted a group of major producers from Latin American poultry and pork companies to hear "The Success Story of ALIMET®". The event took place at Novus's ALIMET® manufacturing facility at Chocolate Bayou in Texas, U.S. from May 13-16. The event provided a showcase for ALIMET® feed supplement (HMTBa), a liquid source of methionine activity that delivers an organic acid effect in poultry, swine, ruminants and aquaculture.

The visit included a tour of the manufacturing facility where ALIMET® is made, presentations from Novus executives as well as talks from Harvard Business School professor Thales Teixeira, and Douglas Zaviezo, an international consultant on animal nutrition who has worked with ALIMET® for years.

"The acceptance of liquid methionine by feed mills has been very rapid due to many operational and zootechnical advantages over powdered methionine. Among them, automated dosing, improved mixing and reduced particle loss,' Mr Zaviezo said.

Methionine is a first limiting amino acid in poultry and ruminant diets and a nutrient necessary in animal production. It works to reduce the amount of nitrogen excreted and allows for better performance, particularly in times of stress.

After more than 30 years research, Mr Zaviezo said that ALIMET® has been shown to be an extremely effective source for methionine inclusion in animal diets.
