NEWS 10 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2025 The latest installment in Selko’s webinar series, held on May 7th, 2025, spotlighted the Global Feed LCA Institute’s (GFLI) new branded directory as a tool to support more transparent and sustainable animal feed formulation. The database has been enhanced to provide precise environmental data for individual ingredient brands. The branded database involved a pilot collaboration between GFLI and Selko in 2024 to evaluate Selko IntelliBond as the first branded product added to the branded ingredient database. According to the announcement, GFLI completed an extensive, independent verification of Selko IntelliBond’s life cycle assessments (LCA) as a fundamental part of their internal and external evaluation process. This effort to elevate the transparency of ingredients used in animal feed responds to the market’s growing demand for credible substantiation of sustainability claims on products derived from animal protein. Third-party verification helps boost trust at a time when greenwashing is a growing concern in the animal protein sector. Including ingredients with verified LCAs can help formulators reduce the carbon footprint of feed and differentiate their offerings, according to Claudia Meeusen, Secretariat of GFLI. Adding branded ingredients to the GFLI database also brings more precision to feed formulation, as branded ingredients must meet more precise data standards. Kevin Perryman, Global Trace Mineral Advisor at Selko, stated: “Given that more than 50 percent of animal protein carbon emissions are attributed to feed, formulators can play a tremendous role in meeting the market’s growing demand for greater transparency and improved sustainability.” Read more>> Starting in 2026, the Triott Group companies Ottevanger, PTN, Almex, IVS, and Inteqnion will operate under one name: Ottevanger. Together, they deliver complete solutions for the global animal feed industry – from designing and building individual machines to delivering fully integrated turnkey projects. This includes automation, commissioning, and technical services. Triott states that, for customers, this means one clear point of contact throughout the entire process. At the same time, the new structure provides greater clarity: One organization covering the full scope – from design to maintenance. This minimizes internal transitions, accelerates processes, and ensures consistent quality, even in the long term. The choice for the name Ottevanger is a logical one, according to the announcement. Established in 1909, the name holds a strong international reputation in the industry. By bringing all expertise together under one name, the integrated project approach will become even more visible in the market. Automation plays an increasingly important role in this. By connecting systems and using data intelligently, customers gain greater control over their production – enabling them to optimize efficiency, quality, and sustainability. This applies both to individual machines and to fully integrated factories where all process steps and control systems function as one seamlessly integrated system.
