antibiotics is not as straightforward as it seems but luckily we can learn from the 30 years’ experience our European col- leagues have. One lesson there is that if you stop the use of antibiotics, you need to develop new tools for your toolbox. That is why we have invested heavily in R&D to develop a natural non-antibiotic solution that adsorbs and absorbs tox- ins in the gut and can thus prevent disease and the need for antibiotic use. As straightforward as this sounds, it encom- passes a paradigm shift in our industry.”
Sustainability Christie Chavis, vice president animal nutrition and health performance solutions at DSM reported: “According to a re- cent study, feed additives can reduce the environmental footprint of animal protein production by 10% and that’s where we see a lot of potential for our Performance Solu- tions + Biomin portfolio to contribute to more sustainable animal protein. At DSM Animal Nutrition and Health we continue to highlight the need for sustainable farming to meet the demands of an ever-growing global population. Our approach with ‘We Make it Possible’ is to address some of the biggest issues within the animal protein industry by leveraging scientific innovation and partnering with actors across the feed and food value chain. Moreover, progress re- lies on credible and robust measurement — which is why we work with multiple stakeholders, customers and leading experts to conduct environmental life cycle assessments of
their farms. Many of the topics in the sustainability discus- sion are interlinked. Feed represents anywhere from 50% to 70% of the total costs of livestock rearing and accounts for 50% to 80% of the environmental footprint of animal pro- tein products. In the current context in which producers are facing higher feed ingredient costs, it’s only logical to look for strategies that will improve efficiency – by including feed enzymes, mycotoxin de-activators and eubiotics in our portfolio — that will deliver not just higher output or feed cost savings to underpin profitability but also support bet- ter animal health and welfare, and reduce environmental emissions from farms. Having been at IPPE I enjoyed the en- ergy, connection and emotions with in-person events. How- ever, our working environments have evolved into a hybrid approach. We aim to leverage the best of digital tools and offline interactions to serve our customers the way they want to be served. Digital tools have helped us to communi- cate with existing and potential customers, and we have continued to develop our award-winning online customer portal to enhance the quality of our service delivery. In-per- son sessions are great for understanding our customers, co-creating innovations and for developing robust face-to- face partnerships, including trials, knowledge exchange and networking. We hope that circumstances will allow us to continue to step up this activity, wherever possible, while safeguarding the safety of our clients, employees, suppliers and stakeholders.”
