Nor-Feed, which develops natural feed additives and ingredients made of botanicals for animal health and nutrition, measures the environmental impact of its natural solutions as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy.
Nor-Feed, which has been developing natural alternatives based on plants and plant extracts for animal nutrition and health since its creation in 2003, announced that it has carried out Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) of its products as part of its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy. The LCAs have been carried out on all Nor-Feed’s main products with the help of the renowned consultancy firm EVEA. To measure the environmental impact of Nor-Feed products, the LCAs first assessed carbon emissions, water consumption and the use of agricultural land from plant production to the finished product. Then, the impact of using Nor-Feed products in livestock production was demonstrated, highlighting the interest of Nor-Feed solutions in reducing the environmental impact of livestock production.
The study carried out by EVEA demonstrates the benefits of substituting synthetic vitamin E with standardized grape extract, as well as the benefits of using lemon extract to reduce the environmental impact of meat production. The data obtained is now available for Nor-Feed’s main products, and is also the subject of a scientific publication.
According to the company’s statment, Nor-Feed’s primary objective is to eliminate the use of synthetic molecules such as antibiotics and pesticides in animal feed. Nor-Feed’s natural solutions are rigorously documented, their composition in active molecules is carefully standardized to ensure consistent efficacy, and their regulatory status is solid.
