ADVERTORIAL FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 63 approach to regulatory compliance, quality control, and environmental responsibility, ensuring that its ingredients meet the highest industry benchmarks. ENSURING CONSISTENCY AND SAFETY Maintaining the highest quality standards is essential in the feed and additives sector. To ensure the highest standards of quality and safety, they’ve developed the Hazard Analysis Botanical Identity (HABOID) system. This quality control system guarantees 100% botanical identity by assessing and mitigating risks of contamination and adulteration. The HABOID system begins with a thorough risk assessment, evaluating potential issues associated with each botanical source. This is followed by stringent testing protocols to confirm the identity and quality of the botanicals. Continuous monitoring ensures that these high standards are consistently met, adapting to new challenges as they arise. This level of precision and transparency sets Natac apart in the feed industry, offering customers a reliable and high-performing solution for animal nutrition. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND CIRCULAR BIOECONOMY Natac is dedicated to investing in scientific research that fosters environmental responsibility. Alongside other expert teams, they participated in an innovative in vitro* study in which ruminal fermentation was analysed, and oleanolic acid in its bioavailable form was shown to reduce methane emissions. This commitment to advancing sustainable solutions underscores Natac’s broader mission to minOA decreased the gas production, including methane. * Canguiano et al. 2022 Triterpenes from Olea europaea modulate in vitro ruminal fermentation. ** Beauchemin et al., 2009; Hristov et al., 2013; Knapp et al., 2014; Beauchemin et al., 2020; FAO; America Society of microbiology article “Ruminant Methanogens as a Climate Change Target”; MSD Veterinary manual; Lopez et al. 2002 Mundo ganadero - Ministerio de agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación.; Fisiología Veterinaria Cunningham 6a edicion; Russell, J.B. et al. 1998 J. Dairy Sci. Sources: The decrease in CH4 production was influenced by a change in the acetate to proportionate ratio. Results suggested that: The increase in proportionate production, at the expense of acetate, decreased the availability of H2, limiting methane production.
