EXPERT GUIDANCE
Through targeted, ready-to-implement strategies, we provide expert guidance tailored to the specific needs of each stakeholder in the dairy value chain.
Carbon Reduction Programme Dairy
Navigate. Sustain. Succeed.
Trouw Nutrition’s new Carbon Reduction Programme Dairy is a comprehensive suite of unique nutritional and digital solutions designed to support animals from calf to 5th lactation and reduce the carbon footprint per kilogram of fat- and protein-corrected milk.
The programme aims to support producers and diary stakeholders reduce carbon emissions while maintaining productivity and improving profitability.
Proven solutions for a sustainable future
The programme enables greater transparency and collaboration across the dairy value chain, facilitating the development of a more future-proof industry.

-
ENHANCED COLLABORATION
Developing a platform to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we empower our partners with the insights and tools necessary to meet industry targets.
-
TAILORED APPROACH
Tailored advice and support are offered at every stage of the process, regardless of the starting point.
How the programme works
The Carbon Reduction Programme Dairy combines advanced animal nutrition solutions, digital tools and expert-led implementation strategies to deliver tailored carbon reduction pathways. Based on decades of animal nutrition expertise and the latest analytical techniques, it provides the actionable insights and nutritional solutions required to deliver measurable results.
How do we establish your status to create an effective strategy?
-
Measure baseline
Measure your status using MyMilkPrint to establish a baseline carbon footprint per kilogram of fat-and-protein-corrected milk (FPCM), taking into account animal numbers, purchased and home-grown forages and feeds, rations, energy and manure management.
-
Identify hotspots
Identify your emissions hotspots and model the potential impact of optimisation measures using our suite of digital tools.
-
Investigate impact of nutritional solutions
Analyse the effects of feeding and total feed management from the calf stage to the 5th lactation cow, including the influence of purchased feeds, total diet composition, methane emissions, and herd dynamics.
-
Run scenario analysis
Use MyMilkPrint to evaluate the effects and impact of nutritional solutions on productivity, profitability and carbon footprint.
-
Establish a long-term plan
Use the variety of pillars and programmes within the Carbon Reduction Programme Dairy to establish a long-term emissions reduction roadmap with measurable KPIs to navigate your way to success.
-
Measure, Monitor and Manage
Review every decision made on farm for the effect on carbon footprint using MyMilkPrint – measure progress, monitor steps taken to refine the plan, and manage and report your success.
Impactful strategies: Optimise the productive life of your herd
The key factor in our holistic approach to reducing the carbon footprint per kg of fat-and-protein corrected milk is to optimise herd performance and structure. The programme gives you access to a wide range of tailored nutritional solutions designed to unlock genetic potential and boost the health and performance of dairy cows throughout their life cycle.
Tailored nutritional solutions at each stage of the cows’ life cycle:
-
Calf -
Heifer -
Transition cow -
Milking cow -
Lactations
Supporting the calf by unlocking genetic potential and epigenetics for optimal health and growth:
Tailoring heifer nutrition and management for optimal development to achieve age at first calving of 22-24 months:
Enabling a smooth transition to lactation with reduced incidences and challenges to create a strong, resilient cow to remain in the herd:
Sustaining peak yield by applying precision nutrition to ensure productivity of the milking cow:
Supporting the cow to complete a healthy 5th lactation for longevity in the herd:

MyFeedPrint
MyFeedPrint is an advanced digital platform designed to provide accurate, science-based insights into the environmental footprint of animal feed. Using lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodologies and extensive global databases, it enables precise calculations of emissions associated with feed ingredients, energy use for production and formulations.
MyFeedPrint provides opportunities to optimise feed choices, lowering environmental impact while maintaining nutritional quality. Providing insights on country of origin, distance travelled and by which mode of transport and energy use at the feed mill compound feed producers can gain the best insights into the environmental impacts of their feeds.
Our commitment to sustainability
The Carbon Reduction Programme Dairy is our latest solution to reduce emissions across the animal protein value chain. Powered by decades of expertise, our science-based tools help customers drive sustainable, profitable growth. Aligned with our purpose – Feeding the Future – we support farmers in meeting global demand while reducing environmental impact.
