Meat production

Get a head start when the industry grows

The consumption of meat protein is expected to grow by 6% globally within the next decade. Our natural, functional feed additives can play a vital role in improving animal health and farm economics, as well as leading the way towards a more profitable and sustainable future for the meat production industry.

Opportunities and challenges

The industry is experiencing significant growth thanks to higher living standards. However, this rapid growth is having a detrimental effect in the form of increased emissions and diseases caused by over-stretched production systems. This results in economic losses for farmers due to reduced productivity, inefficient use of resources and increased antibiotic use.

 

Our feed additives act as growth promoters and immune stimulators, reducing stress and mortality while improving nutrient absorption. They also provide antimicrobial and anti-stress benefits, thereby reducing diseases and the need for antibiotics to treat them. Our products also aim to reduce waste output, as well as ammonia, methane and faecal moisture.

Signals from the industry

The EU Deforestation Regulation aims to address some of these environmental impacts by ensuring that commodities like cattle sold in or exported from the EU are deforestation-free, a move expected to cut annual carbon emissions by 32 million tonnes starting late 2026.

The livestock sector has the potential to achieve significant emission reductions while still meeting the anticipated increase in demand for animal products by 2050. According to a recent UN report (2023), increased productivity and improved animal health can reduce global livestock emissions by 30%

To meet the Paris Agreement, methane emissions from ruminants must be reduced by 11–30% by 2030. Achieving this could lower global temperatures by approximately 0.2°C by 2050 (FAO, 2023).

Responsible solutions for the meat production industry

Our natural, multifunctional feed additives support healthy development, growth and immunity. They provide a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to current solutions. By keeping animals’ digestive systems stay balanced and protected they can help increase productivity, reduce costs, lower emissions and speed up the transition to more responsible farming.
