SUSTAINABILITY 64 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2025 4. A Tangible Boost to Sustainability Metrics Environmental metrics such as carbon footprint (CFP) and land use change (LUC) are rapidly becoming performance benchmarks, not only for regulatory compliance but also for market positioning (Table 2). Using life cycle analysis (LCA) data based on ingredient profiles: • Carbon footprint reductions reached up to 0.29 kg CO₂ eq/kg live weight. • Land use change was cut by up to 19.8 Pt/kg live weight. These improvements were observed across both energy levels, highlighting LYSOFORTE® EXTEND’s ability to increase efficiency without requiring feed formulation changes. In essence, producers can maintain the same raw material base while making measurable strides in sustainability. In a future shaped by environmental regulation, ESG targets, and eco-conscious consumers, such reductions offer a powerful differentiator. 5.
