Focusing on comprehensively strengthening the construction of the "three teams", Yuhang released a column of "Struggle with Me to Build a New Center", focusing on Yuhang's high-quality cadre team, high-level innovative talents and entrepreneurs, and high-quality labor team, and telling the story of their talents, forging ahead, and giving full play to their talents in Yuhang. Today, Xiao Yuer will take you to meet a Yuhang entrepreneur who uses innovative achievements to show the world the power of "China's intelligent manufacturing".
A few days ago, Hangzhou Kangde Feed Co., Ltd. brought three core technologies - intelligent microcapsule coating technology, symbiotic domestication technology and detection technology to the 2024 Brazil Animal Protein Expo, showing the world the power of "Made in China" with innovative achievements.
Founded in 1999, King Techina is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and sales of coated feed additives, one of the three major professional coating enterprises in the world, and is known as the "global coating expert" in the industry. Behind all these brilliant achievements, it is inseparable from an entrepreneur from Yuhang Economic Development Zone, Zhejiang Province - Li Zhefeng.
"The wrap is like the clothes that people wear, the paint that they paint on the walls, it's to keep things from being damaged. The coating made by Kande is similar to the capsule in a capsule drug, which wraps the animal feed additive. Talking about the wrapper, Li Zhefeng suddenly opened the conversation.
Since graduating from the Department of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of Zhejiang Agricultural University in 1987, Li Zhefeng has formed an indissoluble bond with the feed industry. After graduation, he studied in feed factories and dairy farms, and was also responsible for feed technology promotion and product agency work in school-run enterprises. Several years of experience have helped Li Zhefeng accumulate rich market experience, and at the same time, he has also harvested the "first pot of gold" in his life.
The twist of fate began in 1999. Because the company managed by Li Zhefeng broke away from the school, he had to start looking for a new direction of development. "I will do what the market needs." This is Li Zhefeng's consistent philosophy. In in-depth market research, he found that feed additives such as vitamin C and cysteine are highly susceptible to oxidation after contact with air, resulting in a decrease in the content of active ingredients and adverse effects on the animal's digestive system.
In the face of this industry pain point, Li Zhefeng keenly captured the urgent market demand for coating technology. If we can develop a coating product that can effectively protect feed additives and achieve fixed-point and fixed-speed release, it will greatly improve the use effect and market value of feed additives.
Therefore, in 1999, Li Zhefeng resolutely decided to establish Kangde Quan, and embarked on the research and development journey of coated feed additives.
At KTC, scientific and technological innovation has always been regarded as the core driving force of enterprise development. Li Zhefeng knows that if you want to be invincible in the fiercely competitive market, you must continue to break through and innovate. Therefore, he has always adhered to the scientific research spirit of "bold assumptions and careful verification", and led the team to continue to explore and move forward on the road of coating technology.
The development of coating technology is not an easy task. The intestinal environment of different animals is complex and changeable, and the requirements for enveloped products are different. "For example, if a pig's digestive tract is long, the longer the chyme stays in the digestive tract; The digestive tract of poultry is short, and the residence time of chyme in each segment of the digestive tract is very short. We need to conduct in-depth research on the structure of the digestive tract of different animals, so that the enveloped products can be released precisely to achieve the best results. Li Zhefeng explained.
In order to achieve this goal, Contin's R&D team has undergone numerous trials and improvements. "Usually everyone does the test today and tests tomorrow, but in order to save time, we try to make it during the day and test it at night, so as to shorten the R&D cycle to one day. Even so, basically a product development cycle takes 2 to 3 years. Although the process of research and development is full of challenges and hardships, Li Zhefeng has always maintained the pursuit of perfection. From carefully selecting coating materials to finely adjusting every process parameter of machinery and equipment, he relentlessly seeks breakthroughs in every subtlety, gradually removing many obstacles on the road to research and development.
It is with this spirit of craftsmanship that King Techina successfully launched its signature product, coated sodium butyrate, in 2009. The product not only solves the problem of bad odor of traditional sodium butyrate products, but also realizes the fixed-point and fixed-speed release in the animal intestine, which greatly improves the use effect of the product. This innovative achievement also won the Excellence Award of the China Patent Award and the first prize of the Shennong China Agricultural Science and Technology Award, which brought Kantak into the field of vision of more people.
With the continuous maturity of technology and the increasing abundance of products, Li Zhefeng began to set his sights on the international market. In 2009, Li Zhefeng came to the Rennes Space exhibition in France with great hope. "There are more than 900 booths in the audience, only our booth is from China, basically no one wants to stay in our booth for more, everyone seems to think that China has no good products." In order to break this prejudice, Li Zhefeng found a translator and took the initiative to dialogue with foreign counterparts who came to the exhibition, and with his excellent technical strength and product quality, everyone understood that China can also make good products.
Today, CTF's global exports account for 50% of its annual global sales, and its products are exported to 56 countries and regions. At the same time, the coating products developed by Li Zhefeng have applied for 50 national patents and published 350 scientific research articles. Li Zhefeng said that he hopes to use academic papers published in international journals and excellent coating products to prove to the world the leading edge of China's feed additive coating technology.
