NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2021 17 N utreco has announced the rollout of its sustainability strategy through to the end of 2025. This five-year strategy, called RoadMap 2025, includes Nutreco's commitment to the Sci- ence Based Target initiative, which commits to re- view, accept and publish Nutreco’s reduction targets in the first quarter of 2021. Nutreco embraces the objective of the Paris Agreement, to limit global temperature rises to well below 2°C and aims to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable De- velopment Goals (SDGs). The new RoadMap 2025 strategy sets out renewed and measurable targets, including efforts to reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and an overall re- duction of the company’s carbon footprint. The RoadMap also sets out broader corporate citizen- ship goals, including moving the dial on diversity by ensuring a quarter of its leadership positions are held by women. The Roadmap 2025strategy is underpinned by three key pillars and will be executed through its animal nutrition division Trouw Nutrition and its aquaculture division Skretting.

Biomin announces EU authorization for FUMzyme® for fermenting feed L eading animal nutrition and feed additive firm Bio- min has announced the Europe- an Union (EU) authorization of FUMzyme®, the only commer- cially available mycotoxin-deac- tivating enzyme and component of Mycofix®, for application in fermenting feed including silages. FUMzyme, a fumonisin es- terase, is a purified enzyme that detoxifies fumonisins –a category of mycotoxins produced by Fu- sarium fungi— into non-toxic metabolites. On 21 July 2020, the Europe- an Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) published a fa- vorable Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of FUMzyme® in fermenting feeds in all species. According to the EFSA Scientif- ic Opinion, “The additive has the capacity to degrade fumonisins in fermenting feed (with a fumonisin content within the guidance limits operating in the EU) when used at the minimum recommended dose of 40 U/kg feed. This conclusion is based on the results from three studies in which statistically sig- nificant fumonisins reduction was recorded in treated silage.”
