Our Carbon Reduction Programmes

Our carbon reduction programmes for dairy, layers and pigs are designed to help livestock producers reduce their environmental impact while maintaining productivity and profitability. Each programme takes a practical, science-based approach, combining advanced animal nutrition, digital tools and expert support to deliver measurable results across the value chain.

In dairy systems, we focus on reducing emissions per kilogram of milk by optimising animal performance from calf rearing through to multiple lactations. Using tools such as carbon footprint assessments and data-driven modelling, we help identify emission hotspots and provide tailored strategies to improve feed efficiency, reduce methane output and enhance overall farm performance. Carbon reduction programme beef coming soon. 

For the egg industry, our layers programme supports producers from rearing through to late laying cycles, with a strong focus on improving longevity, efficiency and output per hen. By combining precision feeding, data insights and proven nutritional solutions, we enable producers to lower emissions per kilogram of eggs while improving productivity and long-term profitability. Carbon reduction programme broilers coming soon.

In pig production, our carbon reduction approach focuses on helping pigs utilise nutrients more effectively, improving feed conversion and growth while reducing emissions per kilogram of pork produced.
 
By working closely with farmers, feed mills and partners across the supply chain, we provide the tools and insights needed to measure, manage and continuously improve carbon performance - supporting a more sustainable and resilient livestock industry for the future.
