In the fall of 2018, Novera Inc. established manufacturing of their patented, plant-based, bypass protein in Ixonia, Wisconsin. Novera commercialized its protein product after over six years of research and development. Research showed up over 93% post-ruminal digestibility as well the highest Metabolizable Protein, the highest Metabolizable Lysine, and the highest Metabolizable Methionine on the market.
After working with and feeding the Novera 45 protein for a year and a half on commercial dairy settings, I am confident in the consistent performance we get from the product. Customers are seeing increased profits feeding rations formulated with the Novera 45. One recent feed trials saw an increase in 64 cents per head per day. Farms have been able to pull out inconsistent or expensive form of bypass protein and replace them with a more consistent form of bypass protein with a greater return.

All in all, the key is a balanced diet. Degradable protein requirements must be met. But in order to drive milk production, along with pounds of butterfat and milk protein, dairy rations balanced for bypass protein. Novera 45 has delivered a reliable source of bypass protein to the market.
