NEWS 6 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2023 Trouw Nutrition launched MyMilkPrint, an easy-touse service that allows feed advisors to calculate the environmental impact of milk at the farm level, enabling them to develop effective emission reduction strategies for dairy producers. To remain competitive in an increasingly sustainability-oriented marketplace, dairy producers are being challenged to measure and reduce the environmental impact of their products. Early adopters of more sustainable practices are already benefitting from a clear competitive advantage, making value-chain transparency a key selling point. Others are still exploring where to begin their ‘sustainability journey’ and what they can do on the farm level to make their milk production more sustainable. Feed advisors have a key role to play in this transition. Trouw Nutrition is addressing the growing need for transparency around the sustainability of milk with the launch of MyMilkPrint, a one-stop online environmental footprint service for milk production. The new service, integrated into Trouw Nutrition’s MyNutriOpt digital platform, uses farm-specific inputs such as milk production, on-farm energy use, and farm-grown ingredients, combined with data on purchased feeds and nutritional data. These inputs are then translated into an accurate estimate of the environmental impact per kg of farm-gate milk produced. According to the company’s statement, MyMilkPrint is an easy-to-use service, requiring no specialist knowledge and minimal set-up or training.

The newly opened plant specializes in producing high-quality feed and supplements for ruminants, with advanced technology, production management systems, and an automated process ensuring production safety and adherence to high-quality product standards. De Heus entered the state of Goiás in 2019 through the acquisition of the former Cerrado Nutrição Animal. Investments were made to establish a new feed plant within the same industrial complex, while the old factory area was transformed into a warehouse for storing pig and poultry feed manufactured by other De Heus plants in Brazil. The newly opened plant will significantly increase the company’s production capacity in the state from 40,000 to 180,000 tonnes per year. The addition of the new plant in Itaberaí is a significant milestone for De Heus Brazil. Currently, De Heus has six plants in Brazil, alongside an administrative unit and a distribution center. Ademir Maciel, Ruminants Business Manager of De Heus further mentioned, “In the future, with three production shifts and depending on the product type, this plant will reach an annual production of 180,000 tons.” He added, “Our challenge now is to quadruple sales volumes from this plant in the coming years.” Read more>> De Heus inaugurates its largest plant in Brazil
