VTR Biotech’s Expansion of the Intelligent Factory, National R&D Center, and International Industry Academic Conference Successfully Concludes

The expansion of our new plants represent a substantial investment of approximately 430 million RMB, creating one of Asia’s largest and most advanced enzyme preparation compounding plants. The new site spans over 78,670 square meters. This expansion project underscores VTR Biotech’s commitment to technological innovation and industrial upgrading, emphasizing our efforts to scaling up production capacity and diversifying product range through advanced automation.

As we actively respond to the national innovation-driven development strategy and push for high-quality growth in the manufacturing sector, the completion of the intelligent factory will significantly enhance our production efficiency and product quality. These advancements will make our operations more agile, reliable, and future-ready, enabling us to provide the market with superior products and services while achieving automation, intelligence, and precision in our production processes. We believe that biotechnology is a key driver of global sustainable development, and this expansion will empower us to deliver innovative solutions that address pressing global challenges. As we step into this new chapter, we are excited to collaborate with a broader community to advance our shared mission of making better lives with brighter science.

The 2024 VTR Biotech Global Animal Nutrition Technology Summit was successfully held at the Zhuhai Sheraton Hotel. This annual event has become a cornerstone for knowledge exchange and collaboration in animal nutrition and health. This year, we were honored to have distinguished speakers, Prof. Layi Adeola from Purdue University, USA, and Dr. Mehdi Toghyani from the University of Sydney. Their research has significantly advanced our understanding of sustainable feeding strategies and enzyme applications in animal diets.

 Professor Layi Adeola: “Opportunities for the Use of Exogenous Enzyme Preparations in Non-Ruminant Diets”

Professor Layi Adeola, a highly respected researcher in non-ruminant nutrition from Purdue University, USA, delivered a comprehensive presentation on the potential of exogenous enzyme preparations in non-ruminant diets. His talk highlighted the opportunities enzymes offer in improving nutrient digestibility, enhancing feed efficiency, and reducing environmental impact. Prof. Adeola emphasized the importance of tailoring enzyme solutions to specific dietary needs, thereby optimizing their benefits across different species and diet compositions. His speech thoroughly explored current research findings and practical applications, underscoring the transformative potential of enzyme technologies in non-ruminant animal production systems.

Dr. Mehdi Toghyani: “Mannanase – A Key to Poultry Diets”

Dr. Mehdi Toghyani followed with an equally enlightening presentation focused on the role of mannanase in poultry diets. He delved into the enzymatic breakdown of mannans, a type of non-starch polysaccharide found in poultry feed ingredients. Dr. Toghyani presented evidence showing how mannanase supplementation can significantly improve nutrient absorption and feed conversion ratios in poultry. His research also highlighted the broader implications of using mannanase, including its cost-effectiveness and sustainability in poultry production.

As part of the expansion celebration, VTR Biotech hosted the Global Foodtech Innovation Conference on August 20th at the Zhuhai St. Regis Hotels. The event attracted industry leaders and experts from around the world to explore the latest advancements in food technology, with a focus on the transformative role of food enzymes. These enzymes are essential for enhancing food quality, nutrition, and processing efficiency – critical factors in meeting the demands of a growing global population.

The conference also featured a compelling keynote speech by Dr. Ana Jacobus from SENAI of Brazil, who discussed the development of second-generation biomass energy. Her insights on sustainable bioenergy solutions highlighted the importance of integrating technology with nature to address global challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity. The event underscored the pivotal role enzyme solutions will play in creating healthier, tastier, and more sustainable food options,  ultimately reshaping the future of food.

VTR Biotech also hosted the 2024 Pulp and Paper Technology Conference on August 20th at the St. Regis Hotel in Zhuhai. With a focus on environmental conservation, the conference spotlighted innovations in enzyme-based pulping processes and energy-efficient paper production methods. The event emphasized the importance of collaboration across the supply chain to improve resource efficiency and wastewater management, driving meaningful environmental change.

The 2024 Pulp and Paper Technology Conference was not just an industry event. It was a celebration of progress and collaboration toward a more sustainable future for the pulp and paper industry. We are eager to build on the momentum generated and continue our journey toward creating a greener and more efficient industry.

These developments mark a significant step forward for VTR Biotech as we continue to push the boundaries of biotechnology to address global challenges. We look forward to welcoming partners, industry leaders, and innovators to join us on this journey as we work together to shape a brighter, more sustainable future.
