The Spanish Confederation of Small and Medium Enterprises (CEPYME) presented its yearbook on November 7 'Cepyme 500', the list that aims to give visibility and projection to the five hundred SMEs that lead business growth in Spain and that, in his 2023 edition, includes RIOSA for the first time.

To prepare this list, CEPYME observes such significant markers in the chosen companies as their billing grow to a rate greater than 15 percent annually and that the innovation is an inherent part of your company philosophy.

We make special mention of the inclusion in the same list of a neighboring company and from the same oil sector, Libitec, dedicated to the production of biodiesel. We are proud that two such close companies have been chosen within this strict national selection.

The Artificial Intelligence revolution

hec News

We are witnessing an interesting technological moment in which the use of AI tools, such as the well-known ChatGPT, the use of which millions of people have experienced in recent months for the most diverse functions.

Specifically, applied to the world of animal nutrition, we have asked ChatGPT "what are oleins?" The response generated could not be more correct:

«Oleins are a type of fatty acid commonly found in vegetable oils, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, canola oil and soybean oil. They are classified as monounsaturated fatty acids, meaning they have a double bond in their carbon chain.

Oleic acid is the most common type of olein and represents a large proportion of the fatty acids found in vegetable oils. It is a key component of the Mediterranean diet and has been associated with a variety of health benefits, such as improving cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation, and lowering the risk of heart disease.

Oleins are often used in the food industry as a source of healthy fats and as a substitute for trans fats, which are considered less healthy. They are also used in the production of soaps, detergents and cosmetics due to their emollient properties.

The war in Ukraine shoots up the prices of raw materials

hec News

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent war that is developing between two of the main exporting powers of food and energy raw materials has led to an increase in food prices without comparison in recent decades. Ukrainian grain production, in what was known as "Europe's breadbasket", has practically disappeared, and Russian grain production does not reach Europe due to economic sanctions. Along with this, an equally disproportionate rise in energy caused by economic sanctions on Russian gas and oil has only made the situation worse. Food prices, already highly inflated since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, have continued to increase following the development of the sad events, putting pressure on a market, the food market, which is at the limit of consumers' possibilities. .

The EU once again authorizes the use of animal protein for animals, this time excluding intraspecies cannibalism.

hec News, animal nutrition

20 years after the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) crisis, also known as the "mad cow" crisis, the European Union has once again approved, after long studies, the use of animal protein in animal feed, always that certain rules are met that expressly exclude intraspecies cannibalism.

We remember here our entry about it of April 10, 2012, as well as our informational page December 1, 2003 and memorandum of May 6, 2004 of the European Commission.

In summary, from now on it will be allowed to use flour of pork origin to feed poultry, and vice versa, which will lead to better use of very useful materials that were previously lost as waste. It will also allow the use of collagen and gelatin of ruminant origin in non-ruminants. And as a novelty, the use of insect protein in poultry and pork is allowed. Previously, the use of said insect protein was only allowed for fish feeding. The prohibition on the use of proteins of bovine origin for all uses is maintained, following what was learned in the BSE crisis.
