2nd Rhodimet® Research Grant launched

Rhodimet® Research Grant has been created to challenge scientists from
universities or research institutes to innovate and contribute to better
sustainable animal protein production. A global funding of 230,000 USD will be
granted to support 3 to 5 research programs of one to two years that should
focus either on basic research (methionine and health, from metabolic knowledge
to physiologic microbial effects) or applied research (from better nutrionnal
recommendations to reduced environment pollution and improved sustainability).

The success of the first Rhodimet® Research Grant has led Adisseo to
create the Advancia scientific and technical forum community which aims to share
questions and researches on sulphur amino acid nutrition. The second Advancia
International Methionine Seminar will review recent research progresses from
digestive absorption to metabolic roles of methionine
sources.                                              

Organised in 2006-2008, the first Rhodimet® Research Grant was a real
success with 34 proposals received from research teams worldwide. Three topics
were selected, amongst the 34 excellent proposals received. “After two years
of exciting research programs on methionine, we believe there is still more to
be learned on methionine sources metabolism”, says Pierre-André Geraert,
Director of Innovation at Adisseo. Complete results of the first Rhodimet®
Research Grant will be presented at the second Methionine Advancia Seminar on
July 20th 2008 in Niagara Falls (Canada).
