NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2025 17 One of the global leaders in animal nutrition, Nutreco received an OPZuid grant to collaborate with Dutch dairy farmers on reducing nitrogen emissions. This funding enables the development of on-farm solutions fit for the Netherlands' environmentally demanding dairy sector, preparing it for future global challenges. The project, officially named: “Realising the maximal reduction of nitrogen emissions achievable through dietary means within the dairy herd of Noord-Brabant” is a collaboration between Nutreco’s livestock feed business, Trouw Nutrition and Nutrivice B.V. The project received a grant from Dutch subsidiary programme OPZuid (a subsidiary programme for the three southern Dutch provinces Noord-Brabant, Limburg and Zeeland, backed by EU funding), for a period of 4 years. The Netherlands is among the countries with the most geographically dense nitrogen emissions in the world, where 45% of emissions originate from the agricultural sector. Noord-Brabant is province with the highest livestock density in the Netherlands. Within the consortium, Nutreco delivers extensive knowledge and an R&D base (Trouw Nutrition R&D), and Nutrivice functions as an indispensable link to dairy farmers and their daily operations. Trouw Nutrition R&D has years of strategic focus on nitrogen (N) efficiency to address the global importance of this topic as limiting factor for efficiency, profitability and land use in tropics (Brazil and India) and North American dairy and beef business, while being critical to dairy sustainability in Europe.
