FORT DODGE, Iowa — CJ BIO America recently broke ground on a $320 million lysine production facility here.
The factory will annually produce more than 100,000 metric tons of amino acids to supplement animal feeds.
Lysine is derived from corn by-products to provide an essential amino acid for hog and poultry feed. Domestic production by CJ BIO America is expected to benefit demand for corn and provide better value with domestic feed customers, the company said.
Construction on the 65-acre site begins immediately with more than 170 jobs expected to be created by 2014.
