"In order to produce cheap meat, animals must be kept intensively farmed, because allowing them free range costs more land, time and labour. Without access to their natural foods, they must be fed substitutes such as soybean meal, corn, etc; but these substitutes lack essential nutritional elements. A feed additive solves the problem;ref but their digestive systems suffer, so another additive is required. ref To fatten the animal faster, yet another additive is added.ref It is cheaper to produce feed with low protein levels, which also means less excrement, so yet another additive is given." ref, ref
Ajinomoto Animal Nutrition Group was formerly known as Ajinomoto Eurolysine SAS.[1]
