NEWS 98 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE December 2024 Pussalla Meat Producers (Pvt) Ltd, the exclusive Ross® distributor in Sri Lanka, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aviagen® Asia-Pacific to enhance knowledge sharing. Under this agreement, Aviagen experts will develop tailored improvement plans for Pussalla, focusing on the distributor’s specific performance and management needs. Pussalla has already seen significant improvements in chicken performance and health following a review by Aviagen Asia-Pacific, which led to optimized diets for their flocks and a stronger return on investment for the company, increasing their agility in the market, the company points out. Building on this success, the new agreement formalizes an ongoing collaboration, where results and management insights will be shared openly. A dedicated team from Aviagen will provide targeted analysis and recommendations. To mark this milestone, Pussalla’s Managing Director, Dilshan Wewita, visited Aviagen’s corporate headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama, USA, on October 28, where he signed the MoU alongside Alan Thomson, Global Vice President, Technical Operations at Aviagen. Thomson stated: “This agreement reflects our commitment to truly understanding the day-today operations of our customers and supporting them in understanding and applying best flock management practice to achieve optimal performance in their unique circumstances.

Developed in collaboration with the Context Network and the Animal Nutrition Association of Cananda (ANAC), this suite of resources is designed to help companies understand and navigate the LCA space, align internal teams and identify opportunities where LCAs can be beneficial, the institute explains. “IFEEDER is committed to providing practical tools and resources to support sustainability efforts across our industry,” says Lara Moody, Executive Director of IFEEDER. “With the increasing interest in LCAs, these new materials provide actionable resources for companies that are interested in pursuing LCAs for their products.” An LCA is a systematic analysis of the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product's life. It is a valuable tool for product development, benchmarking, identifying areas for improvement and informing strategic planning. IFEEDER points out that the newly developed resources include: • LCA Process Overview: An introduction to LCA, its purpose, processes and outcomes, including steps for International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards review. • LCA Glossary: Definitions of key terms and concepts to help companies understand the language of LCAs.
