A bio-based ingredient that can be used to feed animals and reduce their protein intake and greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal of this solution is to make and sell a bio-based ingredient made from agricultural waste. OPTI’PROTEIN gives farmers a new way to feed their animals that cuts down on the amount of soybeans they eat. This cuts down on deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. OPTI’PROTEIN makes the cells in the stomach and intestines make more enzymes and makes it easier for young animals to digest. For animals that eat soy, like chickens, pigs, and cattle, OPTI’PROTEIN lets them save 3% of the protein in their feed formulas. The new solution makes sure that proteins are absorbed better, is made locally, and brings a new nutritional approach to breeding that is profitable and sustainable.
Positive facts about OPTI’PROTEIN
3% reduction of animal compound feed for the same amount of meat produced
Soy European import reduction: 1,622,000 T/year or 1 232 000 T eq-C02 per year
Improving the digestibility of other types of protein than soy, the solution helps to develop local production of other protein sources such as those of fava, lupin, pea
Net gain between 2 € and 5 €/T of feed / gain on the formulation: -4.50 € to -7.5 €/T of aliment for the same meat production
-1,25 million mT eq-CO2/year of the carbon footprint in Europe, valued on the carbon market at 46,250 million euros/year
An application of the solution on the pig, poultry and cattle sectors in Europe represents: a reduction in soybean imports of 1,622,000 T/year and an imported soybean purchase savings of: 616.3 million euros/year
