The technology OmeB was developed by the NIANP through comprehensive research and validated for milk fat modulation through field studies in dairy animals. The 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 two firms from Karnataka and Gujrat.
