Cargill France | INZO° |

Other organisations
- EMFEMA (International Association of the European Manufacturers of Major,Trace and Specific Feed Mineral Materials) accepted in 2002 that the results from their study on the biological value of mineral sources be included in the INRA-AFZ tables.
- Adisseo (formerly Aventis Nutrition Animale), for its participation in the AmiPig programme in 1996-2001. This programme (led by INRA in collaboration with Ajinomoto Eurolysine, Adisseo, Arvalis, and AFZ) was instrumental in producing a reliable dataset of amino acid digestibility values for pigs.
- Wageningen Livestock Research and the CVB (Netherlands) have published in Novembre 2017 the report "Standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids in feedstuffs for poultry" edited by M.C. Blok and R.A. Dekker (click here to download the report). With the permission of the authors, data from this important report have been included in the INRA-CIRAD-AFZ tables.
