Metagen Enzyme holds the key to the breakdown of lignocellulose-based biomass material through the development of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes The world produces 1.5 to 2 trillion dry tonnes of lignocellulose-based biomass materials a year. By breaking down these biomass materials using biocatalysts, we can potentially provide a huge amount of feed energy. This energy can be harvested for sustainable animal production, second-generation transportation fuel production, and the synthesis of biomaterials such as bioplastics.

Metagen Enzyme strives to develop novel and effective enzyme products to combat toxins such as endotoxin lipopolysaccharides and mycotoxins that are challenges to the development of safe and sustainable animal production on the global stage. Feed antibiotics have been shown to increase the antibiotic-resistance concern for human public health. Feed antibiotics are used to prevent sickness & death and to increase growth and feed efficiency in animal food production. However, the simple banning feed antibiotics would not fundamentally eliminate the antibiotic-resistance concern. Extreme weather patterns contribute to the widespread occurrence of feed grain molds and mycotoxins, can adversely affect food animal production efficiency and animal food product safety.
