Our technical people have 11 years in feed processing technology applications and 16 years in composting and soil amendments. Even the company CEO is a certified composter. We lead the industry in byproduct processing by innovative applications of existing technologies to make an input ingredient of what would otherwise be a disposal problem. As part of this we operate the largest static pile compost facility in Indiana.

Our projects include processing the offal, mortalities and spent hens in the poultry industry. Other projects are to process the litter from poultry and the manure from swine and cattle. We have projects involving anaerobic digestion, composting and feed processing. We have a project under way in Mexico which will produce 40,000 tons per year of fish feed for the aquaculture industry substituting poultry for fish meal in the ration. Two similar plants are planned in the United States. Our joint venture currently processes the litter from multiple poultry houses into cattle feed in Georgia, USA. We can even manufacture concentrated fish protein from fish byproducts.

We have projects in design on behalf of the States of Georgia, North Carolina, and Kentucky in the USA and Sonora and Jalisco in Mexico. We have consulted on numerous animal waste projects in the USA, Canada and Mexico. We are very active in the processing of vegetable matter including composting, feed production, and energy production.
