Patented Greenwave technology to produce new generation of rumen by-pass protein in a climate-friendly way

The patented Greenwave technology developed by Agrifirm makes it possible to produce rumen-resistant proteins for cattle feed in a sustainable, climate friendly way. This contributes to lower nitrogen and CO2 emissions from dairy farms and to cow health. The cooperative has built a plant in Oss, the Netherlands, to produce these new-generation rumen by-pass protein sources that are marketed under the name AminoGo.

Making a larger share of the protein by-pass enables cows to extract more intestinal digestible protein from soy and rapeseed meal. As a result, the protein in the ration is used more efficiently, which results in lower nitrogen emissions. Greenwave technology uses radio frequencies and is a sustainable way of making high-quality by-pass protein. The process does not make use of any fossil fuels and is fully electric using 100% green electricity. This limits the ecological footprint, associated with the production, to a minimum.
