Novus new distributor of DHA Gold in Swine feed
Animal health and nutrition company Novus International, has announced in a press release last week the signing of a worldwide agreement with Martek Biosciences Corporation.
The agreement states that Novus will be the exclusive worldwide distributor for Martek’s DHA Gold® in all swine feed and poultry and enrichment applications.
DHA Gold® is an animal feed ingredient consisting of a dried, whole-cell algae product used to provide DHA enrichment for animals. Adding the product to animal feed is a safe and effective way to enrich foods such as meat, eggs and milk.
Omega-3
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) omega-3 is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that serves as a primary building block for the brain and the eyes and supports brain, eye and cardiovascular health throughout life. There is a large and growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating that people of all ages, from infants to aging adults, benefit from an adequate supply of DHA omega-3 in their diets.
Novus World Area Director North America, Dan Meagher, stated that the partnership with Martek “provides another opportunity to offer a broad spectrum of products to our clients. Through the utilisation of customised, proprietary blends of Novus products with DHA Gold, our customers will not only enhance the health of their animals, but will also be in a position to offer the end consumers differentiated products”.
Joe Buron, vice president of sales and marketing for Martek, is also very enthusiastic about the opportunity to work together with “an industry leader and innovator like Novus as animal feed and nutrition represent a logical extension of Martek’s core technology”.
