Carbon Reduction Programme Swine

Navigate. Sustain. Succeed.

The Carbon Reduction Programme Swine is a comprehensive suite of unique nutritional solutions designed to support pigs from pre-weaning to grow finisher to reduce the carbon footprint per kilogram of liveweight. 

The programme aims to support the swine industry to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining productivity and improving profitability. 

Proven solutions for a sustainable future

The programme enables data driven decision making, resulting in actionable insights that translate science into profit. By facilitating collaboration across the swine industry, we facilitate the development of a more future-proof industry. 

  • EXPERT GUIDANCE

    Through targeted, ready-to-implement strategies, we provide expert guidance tailored to the specific needs of each stakeholder in the swine 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 Swine 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 MyPorkPrint to establish a baseline carbon footprint per kilogram of liveweight; taking into account animal performance alongside feed, farm, and manure management.    
  • Identify hotspots: Identify your emissions hotspots and model the potential impact of optimization measures using our suite of digital tools.   
  • Investigate impact of nutritional solutions: Analyse the effects of changes in feed, energy usage and manure management. 
  • Run scenario analysis: Use MyPorkPrint to evaluate the effects of the impact of nutritional solutions on productivity, profitability and carbon footprint. 
  • Establish a long-term plan: Use the Carbon Reduction Programme Swine 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 for the effect on carbon footprint, profitability and productivity using MyProkPrint – measure progress, monitor steps taken to refine the plan, and manage and report your success. 

Impactful strategies: Optimise your swine performance

The key factor in our holistic approach to reducing the carbon footprint per kg of liveweight is maximising feed efficiency. 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 pigs throughout their life.

Nutritional solutions across every stage of the pig production cycle:

  •   Enable piglets to unlock their genetic potential for optimal health and growth through a smooth post‑weaning transition and targeted digestive development. Investing in early life stages lays the foundation for strong performance in the later grow‑finisher stage, where environmental impact is highest  

  • Support pigs better cope with nutritional, environmental, and health challenges by by strengthening their gut integrity, microbial balance, and immune resilience. Having a better health status improves nutrient utilization, enhances robustness, and reduces variability in performance.

  • Maximize feed efficiency in pig production by delivering nutrients precisely as needed. Using nutritional expertise, data-driven models, and advanced formulation tools, diets are tailored to pigs, ingredients, and farm conditions—reducing losses, improving feed conversion, and supporting consistent performance with fewer resources. 

     

  • Unlock the power of technology through simulation and economic optimization models that predict pig herd performance under each farm’s specific conditions, enabling fast, informed decisions without trials to improve sustainability, reduce costs, and enhance animal health and performance.

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.
