Amino Acid Balance -- the next step in cattle feeding technology for maximum genetic expression.  Whether it be breeding stock, feedlot cattle or backgrounders and stockers, getting maximum genetic expression is a huge benefit when it comes to gain and feed efficiency.  The link below opens an article (Red Angus Journal) that explains the concept of balancing for amino acids and the benefits that using AminoGain to accomplish this has on performance. Please feel free to use the article as a sales piece.

The ANI Calf Milk Replacer Program has been totally revamped, with three goals in mind:
  • Simplify the technology message
  • Focus the message on the benefits that are most important to the customer
  • Clearly define the performance options available within the program

The NurseTrate® calf milk replacers, offered by ADM Alliance Nutrition, have been developed to turn the investment in calf nutrition into a profit-generating management practice.

Biuret logoSpecialty Ingredients 

In an SI EDGE sent out on 12/31/12, the Specialty Ingredients (SI) team announced new research findings on biuret. At the ADM Research Center, rumen-fistulated beef heifers were used to generate comparative NH3 ammonia release curves for biuret, urea, soybean meal, Balchem's NitroShureTM 1 and Alltech's Optigen® 2. 

 

The research findings showed...

  • Urea produces NH3 very fast which is why the amount is limited in feed
  • Biuret is an extremely safe source of NPN
  • Biuret, NitroShure, and Optigen were all able to elevate rumen NH3at levels much higher than soybean meal during the early hours after feeding
  • Biuret's long-term NH3 release (a day after feeding) compares very favorably with soybean meal

Safety and The ADM Way    
Safety
No matter what type of safety programs, meetings, processes or committees we   have, it's all about being on the "lookout" for your fellow colleagues. Look for the positive safe behaviors they exhibit (VBS), look for unsafe conditions and make them known. Positively point out concerns and help get them corrected. Let's help each other get through a shift or get through the day without a safety incident. We all want to see each other leave work the same way we arrive--safely!
  
  
The ADM Way
The ADM Way explains who we are as a Company and what we are here to do. It describes what we want to be in the future and what we will do to achieve that aim. It expresses what we value, what we focus on, and what is important to us. It creates a common understanding for all colleagues and for those who interact with us.
