NEWS 18 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2023 As one of the global leaders in animal nutrition and sustainable ag solutions, Alltech continues to partner with companies that share its commitment to Working Together for a Planet of Plenty™. Alltech announced that it is partnering with National Dairy Farms and Masakin Dairy Farms, two prominent companies owned by Emirates Food Industries (EFI), to bring leading-edge carbon footprint benchmarking and methane-reducing technologies to the Middle East. National and Masakin are known for their flagship milk brand, Hayatna, which has garnered widespread acclaim for its quality and freshness. Now, the two dairy giants are expanding their commitment to sustainability by embarking on a transformative journey to measure and mitigate their carbon footprints. With growing concerns about climate change, companies worldwide are under increasing pressure to adopt eco-conscious practices. As industry leaders, National and Masakin recognize the importance of curbing greenhouse gas emissions and setting new sustainability benchmarks. Through this Planet of Plenty partnership, National and Masakin will have access to a range of carbon footprint benchmarking technologies available through Alltech E-CO2, which will provide precise measurements of their environmental impact, enabling them to make data-driven decisions and set ambitious targets for reducing their carbon footprints. The dairies will also utilize nutritional technologies from Alltech that help lower methane emissions and enhance farm profitability by increasing feed efficiency and milk production. “The solidification of many years of collaboration with Emirates Food Industries in a Planet of Plenty Partnership represents the goals of the wider global Alltech family,” said Paul McVeigh, regional manager of Alltech Middle East. “This partnership illustrates what is possible in the Middle East region when companies join forces toward a single goal, and we are dedicated to supporting them with the best available nutritional technologies to achieve more milk while reducing their environmental footprint.” Read more>> Trials conducted at CERZOO, dairy farm of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza, Italy, confirm efficacy of Bovaer®, dsm-firmenich’s methane-reducing feed supplement for ruminants, achieving reductions close to 50% in methane emissions. Two on-farm trails conducted by the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the first of their kind in Italy, tested the efficacy of Bovaer® in ruminants consuming Italian dairy cow diets, that are rich in corn silage. At the recommended minimum dose, Bovaer® reduced enteric methane emissions by 44 to 50 percent while maintaining milk production and composition, milk fatty acids profile, animal health and welfare, and feed efficiency. These positive results, which follow more than 60 successful trials in 17 other countries, demonstrate once again that Bovaer® is highly effective in reducing methane emissions in dairy cows. dsm-firmenich, innovators in nutrition, health, and beauty and Parmalat, a leader in the Italian milk market and part of the Lactalis Group, announced that UniverAlltech and Emirates Food Industries embark on Planet of Plenty™ partnership in the Middle East Trials confirm efficacy of methane-reducing feed supplement
