ICAR-NIANP licenses OmeB tech to Unique Organic Inputs 

This is the 2nd commercialisation of OmeB, a phyto – supplement for redesigning cattle milk fat

The ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Bengaluru licensed the ‘OmeB’ technology to M/s Unique Organic Inputs, Bardoli, Gujarat, on a non-exclusive basis through AgrInnovate India.

Raghavendra Bhatta, Director, ICAR-NIANP, Bengaluru, and Devendra Malik and Sujeet Nirwal, Directors, M/s Unique Organic Inputs, signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) on behalf of their respective organisations.

Jagmohan Sharma, IFS & Director General, Environmental Management and Policy Research Institute, Govt. of Karnataka, and Suresh S. Honnappagol, Former Animal Husbandry Commissioner, Govt. of India, were also present during the signing of MoU.

Devendra Malik stated that the adoption of OmeB through Unique Organic Inputs in the field would be helpful to the dairy farmers by fetching more income via milk fat modulation.

The technology OmeB was developed by the NIANP through comprehensive research and validated for milk fat modulation through field studies in dairy animals. OmeB leads to a significant increase in the mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The product also improves the conjugated linoleic acids and omega fatty acids content of the milk.

The institute filed a patent (No. 202211040737) for the technology and previously commercialised it to M/s Gou Agritech (P) Limited, Bengaluru.

This is the 2nd commercialisation of OmeB,
