The whole company traces back to that one sentence. Here is the story.
Our founder came to feed manufacturing through a project at a company that serviced feed manufacturers' boilers. Managing the project, he found the process fascinating: every step of manufacturing, every variation of formula for different animals and ages. And he realized the industry had not changed for decades.
He learned about the additives used to increase production and help the binding process. Bentonite, syrups, fats and others. All carry a significant investment in cost with minimal margin gained.
As it happens with all ideas, there is a pivotal point in someone's life that jars them in a particular direction. He had his.
His daughter was born in 2010. Within a few months she began to suffer from severe eczema. She would itch until she bled and cry through the night. Doctors said it would go away soon. After six months of the same recommendations and no improvement, the family went for a second opinion, and then a third.
Finally, a doctor suggested it was an allergic reaction to food and environment. That summer, visiting her grandmother in Florida, the change was incredible: within two weeks her body was clear. All thanks to the ocean. Back home the family changed everything. Water filtration for the whole house. Organic and grass-fed food. A skin cream they researched and developed themselves. Through those years, he learned about plant-based ingredients and their properties.
Then the lesson carried back to the mill. On a visit to a feed plant, he noticed a cloud in the warehouse: bags of an additive being dumped into the mixer. At other facilities he kept noticing additives used strictly for production, not for the nutritional value of the animal. And finally, he came across a facility using a petroleum-based product in the feed to increase production rate, and propionic acid used to extend shelf life.
"This is when I realized there must be a better way, a healthier way."
That is when the idea for a plant-based lubricant and binder was born. Today it is BioLubeSC™: plant-based ingredients that raise production and extend shelf life. No petroleum. No propionic acid.
