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
|
(See other products.)
|
Pioneer looking closely because some processors willing to pay more. Might be good oppty for MN AGP offering premium(?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Oil, High-Protein, Low-Lanolenic
|
N
|
(See products.)
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Phytase
|
N
|
Phytase enzyme allows increases digestibility of phosphate & reduces pollution in chicken/swine.
|
Varieties for So IA 2002.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Protein
|
Y
|
Elevated protein (weather affects level).
|
Fair number of varieties for MN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Stearate
|
N
|
Requires no hydrogenation-no trans-fatty acids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-Sucrose (Low-Stachyose)
|
N
|
Lower in indigestible carbohydrates. 40% more sucrose. Feed--lowers intestinal gas in mongastric animals. Food--Improves food flavor/taste.
|
Late G2. Pioneer has patent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low-Phytate
|
N
|
Chickens/swine cannot digest insoluble phytate. Feed-phosphate emissions & pollution reduced; calcium & protein more completely absorbed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low-Linolenic
|
Y
|
50% less linolenic acid. Increases oxidation stability of oil. Reduced need for hydrogenation which produces trans fatty acids.
|
G2. Could be for G1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low-Saturate/Low Palmitic
|
N
|
50% less saturated fat. Similar to canola oil.
|
In dvlp for early G2.
|
