NEWS 94 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2024 In a move to advance the sustainability of animal protein production, dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health introduced enhancements to the Sustell™ life cycle assessment (LCA) platform, extending users’ capacity to track and improve the environmental footprint of their activities from feed to farm to meat processing. “We’re continually developing the Sustell™ platform to better meet the needs of everyone in the animal protein value chain,” said David Morris, Global LCA Director at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health. “Credible and accurate environmental footprints are key to enhanced farm efficiency and profitability, improved sustainability and new revenue opportunities,” he concluded. By utilizing their own facilities data, dsm-firmenich states that Sustell™ users can accurately measure the environmental impact of their activities, from feed production to slaughtering and cutting. This development enables integrators and processors to communicate the full environmental footprint of animal protein more precisely through the value chain, providing valuable insights for improvement, satisfying the growing need of downstream partners for credible and accurate scope 3 data, and opening the door to sustainability-related value creation. Developed in accordance with the latest EU Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) and other relevant guidance, the upgraded Sustell™ functionality is initially tailored for swine production. The processing functionality will expand to include poultry, marine fish, and beef in the coming months. This practical approach provides users with a comprehensive solution to enhance transparency and sustainability throughout the entire animal protein supply chain, the company emphasizes.

Commenting on the installation, Adriaen Sligcher, Pas Reform’s Sales Director in Southern Africa, says: “We were very grateful for the guidance of Royal Pas Reform’s Stewart Bradnick and his team, which resulted in a first-class hatchery project. Without doubt, we will see a further extension in the near future.” Silverlands was established in 2013 to service Tanzania’s growing demand for quality poultry products at a reasonable price. The company operates two separate units: a poultry and feed business, and a cropping business. The poultry farm has a feedmill, hatchery and poultry houses.
