CBS sells commercial enzyme premixes to Canadian and multinational feed
manufacturers around the world. The company’s success is due in large
part to its rigorous scientific approach to enzyme development and the
solid research data it can provide customers to back up its claims. CBS
has developed a strong research partnership with Dr. Bogdan Slominski,
an internationally recognized biochemist with the University of
Manitoba Department of Animal Science, who serves as CBS’s director of
R&D. The company publishes its research results in peer-reviewed
journals and presents papers at international conferences. CBS and Dr.
Slominski won the 2002 Synergy Award for Innovation from the Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the
Conference Board of Canada.
CBS plans to use its NRC/ASTech prize to hire a student to work with
Dr. Slominski to enhance the feeding value of oil seed and wheat diets
through enzyme supplements. The project will involve chemical
evaluation of commercial wheat and oil seed feed samples and testing
the effects of various enzyme preparations in the laboratory and later
in field trials with broiler chickens and pigs.
