Smart Science Guides

Micron’s strength in biotechnology has been developed through years of research by our experienced scientists. Our approach to product and program development is described in the following Smart Science Guides:

Science and Biotechnology.

“Quality starts with product design and culminates in exceeding customer’s expectations”
A summary of the approach that Micron has taken to product development, design strategies and the technologies employed to achieve this. Topics include: Micron’s verified Quality System; Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Microbiology; Enzymology; Biocatalysis, Chemistry and Toxicology; Animal Physiology, Biochemistry and Immunology.

Forage Preservation and Improvement.

“Micron’s new enzyme formulation is designed to separate the energy containing cellulosic fibres from the lignin.”
Topics include: The Art of Forage Preservation; Silage Inoculants to Improve Silage Quality; Aerobic Spoilage due to Yeasts and Moulds; the Role of Enzymes in Forage Improvement; Controlling Spoilage in Stored Grains, TMR, and Silage.

Applying Biotechnology to the Problems of Mycotoxins in Feed.

“A combination of toxin binders, yeasts, yeast extract and enzymes produces results where many other products fail.”
Topics include: Scientific basis of Products; Mycotoxins and their Effects on Animals; Endophyte Toxins; Effect of Mycotex and UltraSorb on toxins; Role of Mycotex and UltraSorb in Improving Animal Production.

Micro-Pharma Ingredients and Products

“As one vet exclaimed on being told to store a Micron product at 4˚C, ‘Great! A real live probiotic at last.’ That reaction demonstrates why such materials manufactured in the absence of a quality system fail.”
Topics include: Probiosis Theory and Fact; Micro-Pharma Ingredients, Organisms, Enzymes and Lectins; Micro-Pharma products: UltraCell, FerMos, Bio-Boost and Immunoglucans.

Environmental Products and Technology

“Ammonia in enclosed spaces is a major cause of mortality and respiratory disorders”
Topics include: the Scientific Basis for Environmental Products, Microzyme, EnviroVac, Stable Treatment and Deodorex; Compost Acceleration; Composting Plant and Household Residues; Biogas Production.

Biotechnology and its Equine Applications

“The unique combinations of the best aspects of Bioscience is what has made these Equine products so efficacious and successful.”
Topics include: The Scientific Basis of Biotechnological Products; Using the Products Equus Advance for Performance Horses, Equus Senior for older animals, Equus Mycotex for controlling Mycotoxin Challenges in Horses, Equus Ultimate Nutritional Supplement and Equus Stable and Trailer Treatment is described.
