SUSTAINABILITY 62 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2025 The animal nutrition industry is under increasing pressure to enhance sustainability while maintaining—or improving—productivity and profitability. Within poultry production, feed represents the largest contributor to environmental impact, making nutritional efficiency a key lever for sustainable innovation. This article explores the role of LYSOFORTE® EXTEND (LEX)—a synergistic blend of lysolecithin, synthetic emulsifiers, and monoglycerides—as a precision tool to optimize feed conversion, boost broiler growth performance, reduce environmental footprint, and enhance economic return. Based on data from a 42-day broiler trial and supported by life cycle analysis (LCA), we show how LEX supplementation offers a compelling solution for producers navigating today's cost, climate, and market challenges. RETHINKING NUTRITIONAL EFFICIENCY IN POULTRY Global poultry production has reached an inflection point. As the demand for animal protein rises, so does scrutiny on its environmental toll. Feed production accounts for a large portion of a broiler's total carbon footprint and contributes significantly to land use change (LUC), both critical indicators in life cycle assessments. While genetic selection and management practices have improved productivity, optimizing nutrient “Global poultry production has reached an inflection point.
