Firm debuts feedmeals

BOGOR, WEST JAVA (JP): Feedmeal producer PT Multigerm Indonesia introduced yesterday two supplementary feedmeal products onto the domestic market.

The company's general manager, Sutiono Surja, said they would boost poultry meat production by 23 percent and reduce the mortality rate by over 50 percent.

"The new products will also constrain the growth of unhealthy bacteria, neutralize toxins, reduce stress and boost poultry and livestock appetite," Sutiono said.

The products, Lactosym in liquid form, and Gentiderm in grain composition, have been fed to ostriches reared by Multigerm affiliate PT Royal Ostrindo.

Sutiono said his company's production capacity currently reached 104 tons per month, about 60 percent of which was supplied to PT Royal Ostrindo.

The company plans to increase its production capacity to 200 tons per month next year. (gis)
