Adisseo has launched a sustainability module within its ADICT feed formulation tool to help nutritionists and livestock professionals balance nutrition, cost, and environmental impact.
Worldwide, sustainability is a growing concern, especially in animal production, as this sector contributes notably to greenhouse gas emissions. Animal feed and formulation play a pivotal role here, since the feed contributes largely to the environmental impact of animal production.
A part of the solution comes from animal nutrition and health, with implementation of nutritional strategies that improve feed efficiency and reduce environmental footprint.
To guide its customers on their sustainability journey, Adisseo has built SustainWay, a dedicated service structured around four different steps. One of these steps emphasizes feed formulation.
To address this, Adisseo has introduced a new module within its ADICT tool, enabling nutritionists, sustainability managers, and other professionals to balance feed nutrition, cost efficiency, and environmental impact.
Through the ‘ADICT sustainability module’, Adisseo points out that users can:
• Extract environmental impact values for many ingredients and origins (GFLI database) and hence integrate them into the formulation software,
• Formulate feeds with three dimensions: Nutrition, economy and sustainability,
• See where the ‘environmental impact hotspots’ are in the feed and see how certain changes influence the total carbon footprint of the diet (and other impact categories) and the feed cost.
By combining innovative nutritional products and solutions with science-based services such as ADICT, Adisseo reportedly supports the transition towards a more responsible, sustainable and efficient livestock sector.
