Applied biotechnology · By-products · Animal nutrition

We turn by-products into biological value.

We design directed biotechnology processes that turn agro-industrial by-products into high-value ingredients, inputs and solutions for livestock and crop production.

01 About us

Applied science for what the farm already produces.

Sistemas Biológicos Dirigidos S.A.S. is an agricultural biotechnology consulting firm with a multidisciplinary team of professionals in the biological sciences, agricultural sciences and animal nutrition.

We work where others see waste: corn cobs and husks, meals, hulls and other agro-industrial by-products. Using biotechnology tools backed by science, we turn them into value-added compounds.

We work with agribusinesses and producers across Argentina.

02 What we do

We direct biological processes toward a concrete result.

  1. Gloved hands hold a forage sample in front of labeled sample jars.

    01

    We add value

    We transform by-products into functional ingredients using fermentation, selected microorganisms and enzymes we produce in-house.

  2. A liquid being measured in a 250 ml graduated cylinder.

    02

    We optimize

    We make resources work harder: higher digestibility, better preservation and lower cost per unit produced.

    03

    We validate

    Every development is backed by scientific literature, lab trials and field tests before it reaches the producer.

Backed by science

Every development is validated in the lab before it reaches the field.

Scope

From by-product to feed. From feed to results.

Source

Agribusiness

Seed companies, grain elevators, mills and processors that generate by-products.

Destination

Livestock production

Feedlots, dairy farms and feed mills.

Agriculture

Growers looking for biological inputs for their crops.

Plant and animal health

Biofactories and programs that require controlled raw materials.

03 Our areas

Four areas, one approach.

A

Ruminant nutrition

Premixes and biological additives that improve fiber utilization and rumen synchrony.

B

Fermentation and bioprocessing

Solid-state and liquid fermentation with proprietary strains, from lab trials to pilot scale-up.

C

Agricultural biologicals

Microbial consortia and entomopathogenic fungi for crop nutrition and protection.

D

Raw material quality

Technical evaluation and residue analysis to make sure every by-product is fit for its intended use.

Biological value

What you throw away today could be your next ingredient.

05 Track record

We connect industries through their by-products.

We evaluated seed-corn cobs from Corteva (Salto, Buenos Aires) as an ingredient in the fruit fly rearing diet at the ISCAMEN biofactory (Mendoza), ensuring their safety through targeted residue analysis.

  2. Our role

    SBD

    Technical evaluation and targeted residue analysis.

  3. Mendoza

    ISCAMEN

    A controlled input for fruit fly rearing.

06 Why choose us

What you gain by working with us.

Backed by science

Every proposal is grounded in peer-reviewed literature and our own trials.

Tailored development

We design around your by-product, your production system and your goals.

From lab to field

We support you every step of the way: trials, scale-up, production and validation.

Lower cost, higher value

We put local raw materials to work that are discarded or undervalued today.

Proprietary technology

Strains, consortia and enzymes developed and tested by our team.

Circular economy

Less waste, more efficiency and more sustainable production.
