agriculture

Over half of the world’s crops would be lost to weeds, diseases, and insects without protection. Agricultural intermediates are used to produce active ingredients for pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides) that help to keep plants safe and enable farmers to produce sustainable yields.

Intermediates are used to manufacture livestock antibiotics used in animal husbandry. They can be used for therapeutic treatment in ill animals, treatment of a group of animals (when at least one is diagnosed with an infection), or as a preventative treatment. Livestock antibiotics are a key tool to treat disease and to safeguard animal health in cattle, sheep, horses, and goats.

Livestock nutrition serves a specific purpose in maintaining livestock health, weight, and product viability. aurorium offers nutrients, nutrient protectants, preservatives, and flavor enhancers. Nutrients increase an animal’s resistance to diseases while helping to maintain body functions. Nutrient protectants enhance the effectiveness of nutrients and protect them from degradation. Preservatives help extend the shelf life of livestock feed, while flavor enhancers help to improve palatability.

Yield improvers are essential for crops today to help feed the growing population while limiting the environmental impact of food production. Yield improvers Aurorium provides act as micronutrients or intermediates. Micronutrients play an imperative role in plant growth, development, and yield. Their presence helps a plant maximize its genetic potential. Intermediates can go into nitrogen stabilizers to support nutrient uptake as the plant grows. They can also serve as the key component in the manufacture of active ingredients that regulate plant growth.
