Amlan International is the animal health business of Oil-Dri® Corporation of America, a leader in sorbent mineral technology. Amlan leverages Oil-Dri`s 80-plus years of mineral science expertise to develop proprietary, mineral-based feed additives that support optimal intestinal health while adding value for animal protein producers. The core of our feed additives is our natural mineral ingredient that contains high-capacity opal-CT lepispheres and undergoes proprietary thermal processing specifically tailored for each product. We also create synergistic blends of our mineral with other feed ingredients that further support normal gut function and digestive processes. Oil-Dri and the single-source mineral used in Amlan products are based in the USA, and because Amlan and Oil-Dri are vertically integrated, we control the quality, reliability, and safety of the mineral — from mine to feed bag. We do this by following sustainable mining practices and through the use of natural ingredients in our products. Our mineral-based feed additives meet the demands for cleaner food while reducing the inputs needed to raise production animals, helping to decrease the cost and environmental impact of poultry and livestock production. Leading integrators and producers worldwide trust our products to support animal intestinal health and add value to their operations. You can, too.

Kezar co-founder Christopher Kirk, Ph.D. began his work on the unique function of the immunoproteasome at Proteolix in 2005, while working on the compound that would become the successful multiple myeloma drug KYPROLIS™ (carfilzomib). As VP of Research at Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which acquired Proteolix in 2009, Christopher led the efforts to develop the first selective inhibitors of the immunoproteasome and designed multiple studies demonstrating their profound immunomodulatory effects. In parallel with this work, Christopher and Kezar co-founder Jack Taunton, Ph.D. collaborated on several research projects involving protein secretion. This collaboration inspired a belief in the strong synergies between protein degradation and protein secretion, two fertile areas for drug discovery with platform potential. In 2014, Christopher and Kezar co-founder John Fowler began developing the business plan for Kezar, acting on a longstanding desire to work together and build a world-class company. In 2015, John and Christopher raised $23M and negotiated a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Amgen for the Onyx immunoproteasome inhibitor patent estate. Now underway, John and Christopher are excited to leverage their complementary skill sets to build Kezar into a leader in small molecule drug development.
