Zinpro Corporation, the world’s leading innovator and manufacturer of high-performance organic trace minerals and animal nutrition solutions, released its 2024 Sustainability Report today.
“Our 2024 Sustainability Report outlines several areas where we assist our customers in contributing to the pathway to help lower emissions, including improving animal health and wellbeing,” says Dr. Terry Ward, Zinpro global director of sustainability and strategy. “With our Fortify the Future™ commitment, we are proud that Zinpro prioritizes the welfare of livestock, all while supporting positive economic outcomes for our customers.”
UN-FAO Decreased Emissions Factors
In 2023, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN-FAO) published a report identifying eleven factors that can help reduce emissions from global animal agriculture. Zinpro is focused on increasing animal productivity, which accounts for 25% of the proposed overall emission reductions, according to the UN-FAO report.
How Zinpro Helps Customers Contribute to the Lower Emissions Pathway
Other notable emissions reduction factors identified by the UN-FAO include areas in which Zinpro is focused:
- Rumen manipulation (page 9) – Zinpro® IsoFerm® is a dairy cow breakthrough product that improves rumen function, winning a prestigious EuroTier Silver Award for innovation in 2024.
- Feed and nutrition improvements (page 5) – Zinpro® Availa® Dairy helps boost feed efficiency and lowers the carbon footprint for each unit of milk produced.
- Improved animal health (page 10) – In broiler chickens, Zinpro® Availa® ZMC has been shown to reduce bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO), a serious bacterial infection that affects the leg bones of chickens.
