Agrivida,

Agrivida is a biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing a new generation of enzyme solutions to feed livestock more efficiently, reduce negative environmental impacts, and produce more healthful food for an expanding consumer population. Agrivida’s first product, GRAINZYME® Phytase, grows enzymes that are crucial for livestock’s health and well-being directly inside the animals’ corn feed. The enzymes improve feed digestibility, increase mineral availability, and reduce nutritional inhibitors within the animals. The traditional process for enzyme delivery is costly and inefficient. It requires enzyme additives to be administered alongside animal feed, and the process for producing the enzymes is complicated, generates excess waste, and requires tremendous energy. By growing necessary enzymes directly inside the feed, Agrivida eliminates the need for these enzyme additives, ultimately reducing costs to farmers, minimizing feed waste, and improving the environmental footprint of the entire process. Agrivida’s team is led by food and agribusiness industry executives and scientists with expertise in the fields of biochemistry, plant biology, molecular biology, and nutrition.
