Life Cycle Assessment as a science-based fundamental

Life Cycle Assessment as a science-based fundamental

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a vital tool for evaluating the environmental impact of animal nutrition and feed production processes. LCA enables customers to identify and optimize environmental hotspots across the entire life cycle of animal feeds, from raw material extraction to consumption.

• By integrating LCA, the benefits for Adisseo is to analyze the impact of its products on the environment, adapt and improve the process to meet the rising demand for sustainable products.

• The benefits for our customers include enhanced environmental responsibility, operational efficiency and improved market competitiveness through sustainable practices.

Adisseo as a leader in animal nutrition recognizes the importance of LCA in promoting sustainability and provides:
» Innovative, sustainable solutions in animal nutrition contributing to the reduction of environmental footprints.
» A specialized expertise to assist customers in conducting tailored LCAs.

Through collaborative partnerships, Adisseo works closely with clients to implement strategies aligning with environmental goals and overall sustainability objectives.

Adisseo’s nutritional solutions play a pivotal role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions through optimized feed strategies. Our solutions target key aspects such as enhancing feed efficiency, reducing excretion and promoting animal health leading to lower carbon footprints.

• Reformulation of the feed
With the inclusion of Adisseo nutritional solutions in the formula, better use of alternative feedstuffs can be obtained.
✔ Enzymes, amino acids, palatants​, NIR analysis

 

• Improvement of feed efficiency
Maximizing feed efficiency means that less feed is required to produce the same weight of animals, which saves resources. Some feed additives help to extract more nutrients from feeds, helping animals to sustain their growth.
✔ Enzymes

 

• Reduction of the excretion
The reduction of excretion is a key topic, with implications for eutrophication, acidification and global warming potential. Adisseo nutritional solutions can help to decrease nitrogen, phosphorus excretion or ammonia volatilization.​
✔ Enzymes, amino acids, sodium sulfate

 

• Better animal resilience
By prioritizing the health of livestock and aquaculture, our solutions result in fewer sick animals, decreased mortality rates, improved fertility, increased longevity, ultimately enhancing the overall well-being of the animals and their efficiency.
✔ Probiotics, selenium, vitamins, butyrate, mycotoxin deactivators, amino acids
