Medilabor
Medilabor di Odore Dott. Carlo (Medilabor) is a sole proprietorship entity located in Cavalermaggiore (CN) in the Province of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont. It has initiated its activities in 1974.
Medilabor owns several plants for the production of solid and liquid formulations for animal husbandry and agriculture and a laboratory for quality control analyses.
Medilabor currently develops three types of correlated activities:
- production of premixes, additives and complimentary feed for livestock and sport animals (horses);
- production and commercialization of raw materials for the feed industry, the breeding of livestock and sport animals, conventional and organic agriculture and environment;
- chemical, physical and bacteriological laboratory analyses in support of the self-control of production processes (HACCP) and for third-parties (services) in the agro-food and environmental sector.
As far as this project concerns, Dr. Carlo Odore, the owner of Medilabor, holds the European patent No. 1379558 for a new fertilizer (urelite) that provides a slow-release of nitrogen. As Medilabor is not able to exploit this patent by realizing a production process for this new product in its own premises lacking technologies for the elaboration of zeolite, it planned a collaboration with Gruppo Minerali Maffei, and in particular its daughter Minerali Industriali, which has capacities to experiment and realize such production process. The experimentations will be object of this project.
