Webinar: How feed formulation analytics can reduce animal protein footprint

Watch on-demand nowto learn how changes in feed formulation affect the environmental impact and what you can do to reduce your foot-print.

Environmental impacts of livestock production are at the forefront of the industry topics for 2021. Global challenges have accelerated the demands of policymakers, investors, retailers and consumers to tackle and reduce the footprint of livestock. During the webinar, feed industry and academic experts will discuss the potential of feed formulation to tackle this challenge through an opportunity lens that goes beyond least cost design and innovation. This dialogue will feature格雷格•托马, Director of Research and Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Arkansas, who will highlight the science behind environmental foot-printing in the animal protein value chain and recent research and policy developments.Johanna Daka, Development manager at Hankkija Oy, compound feed manufacturer, will then explore the needs and challenges they are experiencing from the market in terms of sustainability. Lastly,Tom Battagliese, Senior Sustainability Manager at BASF Animal Nutrition will introduce as well as perform a live demo of a newly developed and industry first digital tool, integrated with feed formulation software, that offers dynamic environmental foot-printing at the nutritionist's fingertips.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

1. Understand livestock / animal protein value chain sustainability pressures and opportunities.
2. Discover how changes in feed formulation affect the environmental impact and what you can do to reduce your footprint.
3. Explore how a new digital tool integrated with feed formulation software reduces complexity and cost of foot-printing without compromising profitability.
