スターゼン launches initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production

スターゼン has begun feeding Ajinomoto Co.,Inc.'s cattle lysine formulation AjiPro®-L to Wagyu cattle at 北海道はまなか肉牛牧場株式会社. The initiative aims to improve weight-gain efficiency, shorten the fattening period, reduce GHG emissions and return the reductions to the farm as J-Credits under a carbon-credit model.
