SUSTAINABILITY FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 75 TAKE HOME MESSAGE: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FEED ADDITIVES Investing in sustainability strengthens the animal nutrition industry, reducing environmental impact while meeting regulatory and market demands. Despite their low inclusion rates, feed additives play a crucial role in reducing environmental impact, by lowering carbon footprint, terrestrial acidification, eutrophication, and land use. Moreover, accurate life cycle assessments are essential for measuring and comparing the true environmental impact of feed additives. Transparency and data-driven communication are key to advancing sustainability in animal nutrition.
