High-Amino Acids (Methionine, Cystine)
|
?
|
|
Being studied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Lysine & Methionine
|
|
Poultry/swine can only absorb amino acids in highly balanced formulations. HLM allows higher utilization and reduced nitrogen excretion. Lowers feed costs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Oil
|
Y
|
|
Monsanto: MN high oil because line dvlp here high oil--"Processor Preferred" varieties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Oil, High-Protein
|
N

|
This would be high value stacked product. MN could promote varieties that have these traits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Oleic
|
N
|
80% of oil is monounsaturated fat. More heat stable. No trans fatty acids. 33% less saturated fat. Remains in liquid form.
|
Available G3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
