Agriculture & Bioenergy

As the agricultural industry faces pressure to produce more than ever before with less strain on the environment, Creative Enzymes is developing unique solutions that bring the industry - and the world - closer to this goal.

According to UN researchers, demand for agricultural output is projected to grow by at least 70% by 2050. This means that farmers will need to produce more food in the next 40 years than they have in the last 10,000 years combined. At the same time, people are increasingly becoming aware of sustainable farming practices as the key to meeting the world’s agricultural demands far into the future. Enzyme preparations have been reported to improve the utilisation of feeds for ruminant animals. New enzyme preparations are constantly being developed.

Biological silage inoculants frequently contain enzymes in addition to lactic acid bacteria. The enzymes in such products partially breakdown some of the cell wall components of the plant material to be ensiled into soluble sugars. These liberated sugars are then metabolised by the natural or applied lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacilli or Pediococci into lactic acid which reduces the pH and so ensiles the crop.

The use of enzymes in arable agriculture especially in the processing of some major crops and in waste disposal systems are areas which have not been fully investigated.

Not only do our agricultural solutions help ensure that our customers remain competitive, they also ensure that modern farming practices are sophisticated enough to provide for future generations.
