Trouw Nutrition to premier sustainable nutrition solutions at EuroTier
Trouw Nutrition, Nutreco’s livestock feed business line, is launching a new generation of precision nutrition tools, technologies, and programs developed to elevate the sustainability of livestock farming.
Innovations for ruminants, poultry, swine, and feed will be unveiled at EuroTier, which takes place from 12-15 November in Hanover, Germany. Visitors to Trouw Nutrition’s stand 22B09, Hall 22, can check out science-based nutritional tools, explore a portfolio of digital technologies, and learn about programs designed to optimise sustainability across the value chain. Highlights of Trouw Nutrition’s presence at EuroTier are shared below.
Sustainable ruminant innovation
Launching at EuroTier, Sprayfo Ultimo represents a mind shift in early calf nutrition. Scientists developing this calf milk leveraged a breakthrough discovery that showed how the fatty acid profile in cow’s milk acts as a signaling agent to activate gastrointestinal development. The result is earlier development of the rumen and a nutrient profile that supports body composition, improving the calf’s metabolism throughout its life.
Sprayfo Ultimo delivers nutrition that helps animals enter the milking herd earlier and produce over more lactations. To further support sustainability, Sprayfo Ultimo reduces the concentration of trace minerals in the calf milk, leading to less mineral excretion into the environment.
Sustainable trace minerals
Selko IntelliBond is continuing its legacy of leading the industry in trace mineral nutrition. Trouw Nutrition experts will be available to explain new feeding recommendations when implementing the right source of trace minerals. Selko IntelliBond is the first source of trace mineral nutrition to provide an independent verification (life cycle analysis) for the total CO2eq values of its products.
Sustainable poultry innovation
The first generation of MyEggPrint, the newest NutriOpt life cycle assessment tool, will debut at EuroTier. MyEggPrint helps businesses in egg production to measure, monitor, and share the environmental footprint of their eggs. The tool is based on a certified methodology. Combining the carbon footprint data with Trouw Nutrition’s nutrient expertise, MyEggPrint will allow users to deploy strategies to reduce their carbon footprint while staying competitive. MyEggPrint is part of the Layer Longevity Program.
Furthermore, the company will display Fytera Perform, a novel phyto-complex that harnesses the power of plants for poultry production. Research data shows the positive impact on feed conversion ratio and body weight gain. The impact of the complex power of plants will be further explained during one of the expert stage talks in the Poultry Hall on Tuesday 12 November at 9.30am.
Sustainable swine innovation
By creating a powerful digital twin model of the farm and its swine population, Watson generates a virtual model that mirrors animal responses to various farm conditions. This tool can be applied across the swine operation, providing precise predictions on how feed, health, and management decisions will affect critical factors, from the farm’s carbon footprint and carcass quality to farm profitability. Watson generates recommendations for factors including genetics, feeding strategies, transport, manure management, and more.
Addressing the latest developments in piglet nutrition and health management, Trouw Nutrition has upgraded the Milkiwean programs to include technologies such as its patented Kinetio technology, enhanced NIR programs, particle size and specialty ingredient package with an optimised acid binding capacity (ABC-4) help support the enteric heath of weaning piglets, even in challenged conditions.
