REAL CUSTOMER RESULTS

Concentrated barley protein helps support and facilitate sustainable aquaculture practices. Plus, the proprietary process we use to make Emerge doesn’t use any acids or solvents. 

A commercial farm fed Emerge to over 375,000 trout from juvenile stage through harvest. The Emerge trout had identical growth to the trout that consumed a fishmeal diet. The flesh color and taste were identical too. They also found that Emerge’s low phosphorus content and high digestibility supports cleaner water quality.

Pet owners looking for clean label ingredients will be happy you chose Emerge. In product formulations, you can count on Emerge to deliver a neutral flavor and natural color with no change in palatability. It also has low phytic acid levels, which improves protein digestibility and utilization.

In product trials, dogs chose the product formulation containing Emerge 2:1 over other vegetable- and
plant-based proteins.

Natural
process

The protein and fiber are naturally separated and protected from heat damage. No acids or solvents are utilized.

NUTRIENT
DENSE

The result is a clean, dense and consistent protein ingredient that’s flavor neutral, natural in color and highly digestible.

Naturally occurring phosphorus becomes highly bioavailable for aquaculture and pets. The final product is a clean label protein solution.
Sustainability Facility

Our state-of-the-art facility

Our 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is in Jerome, Idaho—the leading state for barley production in the US. Currently, our facility can process approximately 2 million bushels with room to expand. In keeping with our sustainable practices, this facility is energy efficient and minimizes waste water. No part of the barley goes to waste. We take whole barley from local growers and transform it into new value-added products.
