NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2024 Nutreco’s livestock feed business line, Trouw Nutrition will launch a new generation of precision nutrition tools, technologies, and programs developed to elevate the sustainability of livestock farming. Innovations for ruminants, poultry, swine, and feed will be unveiled at EuroTier 2024, 12-15 November in Hanover, Germany. According to the company’s statement, visitors to Trouw Nutrition stand 22B09, Hall 22, can check out science-based nutritional tools, explore a portfolio of digital technologies, and learn about programs designed to optimise sustainability across the value chain. Trouw Nutrition shares the highlights of its presence in EuroTier: Launching at EuroTier, Sprayfo Ultimo represents a mind shift in early calf nutrition. Scientists developing this calf milk leveraged a breakthrough discovery that showed how the fatty acid profile in cow’s milk acts as a signaling agent to activate gastrointestinal development. The result is earlier development of the rumen and a nutrient profile that supports body composition, improving the calf’s metabolism throughout its life. Sprayfo Ultimo delivers nutrition that helps animals enter the milking herd earlier and produce over more lactations. To further support sustainability, Sprayfo Ultimo reduces the concentration of trace minerals in the calf milk, leading to less mineral excretion into the environment. Ultimately, Sprayfo Ultimo helps achieve a resilient dairy herd with better utilization of farm resources, reduced carbon footprint per liter of milk, and less mineral excretion.

The US-based manufacturer’s automated chick feather sex identification system reportedly leverages artificial intelligence (AI)-powered advanced imaging technology to identify and sort male and female day-old chicks based on their feathers. Ramin Karimpour, Founder and CEO at TARGAN, says: “With global meat consumption expected to double by 2050, the industry needs to rapidly evolve to feed our growing population. In Europe, poultry is one of the most widely produced and consumed animal-based protein sources, but the sector faces an array of challenges to meet demand, including workforce complexities, tightening welfare standards and higher consumer expectations — all areas that can be addressed with our systems.” According to the company’s statement, the WingScan™ system offers a throughput of up to 100k chicks per hour, depending on the configuration, with up to 98% accuracy. Automated chick sexing improves efficiency and performance, leading to downstream benefits at the farm and plant. By implementing gender-specific rearing strategies, producers can improve flock uniformity, which enhances plant operations. By overcoming the need for large teams of skilled manual chick sexers, TARGAN claims WingScan™ allows hatcheries to address labour challenges. Hatcheries that are able to boost productivity, have a greater potential to achieve consistent, high-precision results and improved ROI across the entire value chain.
