NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2023 7 The streamlined digital service MyFeedPrint, which is integrated into the NutriOpt digital platform, represents a key step forward for transparency in the livestock value chain. In line with Trouw Nutrition’s purpose, Feeding the Future, this service enables environmental assessments for animal feed products, analyzing the impact of each ingredient and the processes included in creating every tonne of feed. MyFeedPrint will allow feed producers to uncover their environmental hotspots and prioritize the lowest-impact strategies to ensure their operations can continue to run profitably and sustainably. Based on the results of the MyFeedPrint analysis, producers can calculate more environmentally conscious choices to enhance their products and make informed decisions about how to achieve lower-impact solutions. This will help users remain competitive in an increasingly environmentally aware marketplace. The MyFeedPrint service does not require specialist knowledge of life cycle assessments (LCAs), making it accessible to all.

The high double-digit million euro investment in this further technological development is to reach target capacity by the third quarter of 2024. The planned process optimization measures will improve the carbon footprint of MetAMINO® produced in Singapore by six percent. “Increasing capacity for MetAMINO® production in Singapore is another important step in the consistent implementation of our global methionine asset strategy, further improving supply security for our customers in Asia,” said Dr. Gaetano Blanda, head of the Animal Nutrition business line. “In the face of fragile supply chains, our strategy of producing MetAMINO® in three different regions of the world has proven its value to our customers.” At the core of the methionine strategy are the three production hubs in Singapore, Mobile (Alabama, USA), and Antwerp (Belgium). All three of Evonik’s world-scale plants are based on best-in-class technologies and are designed to grow with the expanding global market through modular expansions. Evonik’s methionine plants in Singapore, which came on stream in 2014 and 2019, were already the largest production complex for DL-methionine in the world, with an annual capacity of around 300,000 metric tons of MetAMINO®.
