Overview & Opportunity

Dairy and seafood processors face rising operational costs from disposing of nutrient-rich byproducts, even as these waste streams represent untapped assets that could drive profitability and sustainability. OSU researchers have developed a novel process to transform these liabilities into a premium, shelf-stable feed ingredient with proven bioactive benefits that integrates seamlessly into existing operations. This solution enables companies to convert waste into new sources of value, unlocking revenue opportunities, reducing risk, and strengthening sustainability leadership in the nutrition industry.
