We operate business to business, using our deep industry knowledge combined with global research and development capabilities to drive continual progress across the sector. As a trusted partner to farmers, feed producers and the wider food chain: we play a vital role in building a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system.

Sustainability is embedded in everything we do – from improving animal health and performance to reducing environmental impact and supporting responsible farming practices.

Time to Take Control

Time to Take Control is a dedicated event series bringing together industry experts, producers and partners to share practical strategies for improving productivity, profitability and reducing emissions across livestock systems.

Our Carbon Reduction Programmes

Our carbon reduction programmes for dairy, layers and pigs are designed to help livestock producers reduce their environmental impact while maintaining productivity and profitability. Each programme takes a practical, science-based approach, combining advanced animal nutrition, digital tools and expert support to deliver measurable results across the value chain.

In dairy systems, we focus on reducing emissions per kilogram of milk by optimising animal performance through precision nutrition strategies from calf rearing through to 5th lactation and beyond. Using tools such as carbon footprint assessments and data-driven modelling, we help identify emission hotspots and provide tailored strategies to improve feed and protein efficiency across the whole herd, reduce methane output and improve productivity. Carbon reduction programme beef coming soon. 

For the egg industry, our layers programme supports producers from rearing through to late laying cycles, with a strong focus on improving longevity, efficiency and output per hen. By combining precision feeding, data insights and proven nutritional solutions, we enable producers to lower emissions per kilogram of eggs while improving productivity and long-term profitability. Carbon reduction programme broilers coming soon.

In pig productionour carbon reduction approach focuses on helping pigs utilise nutrients more effectively. Starting from the piglet we support feed intake so that they are more efficient in the grow finisher phase. Utilising a suite of gut health solutions and responsible mineral formulation we strive to increase average daily gain and improve feed conversion. The key pillar in the carbon reduction programme for pigs is utilising precision nutrition and decision making through NutriOpt, Watson and MyPorkPrint to test scenarios for their impact on productivity, profitability and how they effect emission per kg of pig liveweight. 
 
By working closely with farmers, feed advisors, home mixers, integrators, feed mills and partners across the entire supply chain, we provide the tools and insights needed to measure, manage and continuously improve carbon emissions - supporting a more sustainable and resilient livestock industry for the future.

  • The Carbon Reduction Programme Swine is a comprehensive suite of unique nutritional solutions designed to support pigs from pre-weaning to grow finisher to reduce the carbon footprint per kilogram of liveweight.

Our pillars

Our programmes are underpinned by our core pillars of innovation:

LifeStart: early-life nutrition for optimal lifetime performance

HealthyLife: supporting animal health and welfare

Precision Nutrition: delivering the right nutrients at the right time

Responsible Minerals: formulating to animal requirements for a small but mighty effect on performance & emissions

Together, these pillars support a holistic approach to sustainability – improving productivity, supporting financial sustainability whilst reducing the footprint of farming operations.

Our sustainability programmes are backed by a suite of practical, data-driven tools that help you make informed decisions. From carbon footprint calculators with a key emphasis on nutritional interventions to precision nutrition models; our tools are designed to support smarter and more sustainable farming.

Our tools put the power of sustainability in your hands.
