Nutreco named "Most Innovative Animal Nutrition Company"

 

Nutreco has been named "Most Innovative Company in the Animal Nutrition Industry - 2022" by World Finance, the influential international business quarterly, last December.

 

The accolade is part of the publication's annual Innovation Awards, which honour excellence in various industries.

 

"Receiving the award is a positive endorsement of our achievements to date," Nutreco said. "The work we have done in harnessing cutting-edge science and technology in animal nutrition and sharing expertise on new farming techniques with our customers is already shifting the dial and enabling farmers to improve productivity."

 

The award is also a reminder that only by continuing to push boundaries will Nutreco be able to deliver the outcomes its seeks over the longer term, it added.

 

Better nutrition for fish, shrimp and land animals will be an essential part of the fundamental changes the company needs to make to achieve its mission.

 

"Our innovation teams work to help farmers optimise their practices with data-driven decision making through precision farming and nutrition; customised to an animal's specific requirements," Nutreco highlighted. "This helps farmers produce more, strengthen animals' health and resilience and reduces the need to use external additions such as antibiotics in a sustainable way."

 

The company noted that, "to feed a growing population, our industry must maximise all sources of food protein. For Nutreco this means adhering to our core principle of "and/and" rather than "either/or" and continuing to investigate different ways to optimise all protein sources, including plant-based proteins, cultured proteins and fungal fermentation.

 

"Through our NuFrontiers team, for example, we've developed innovative partnerships with the likes of Mosa Meat, BlueNalu, Enough and Roslin Technologies.

 

"Our newest team NutEx (Nutreco Exploration) was set up to explore new science that unlocks novel nutritional solutions for animals. We're especially focused on exploring the potential of phytotechnology and biotechnology, to capitalise on the tech-accelerated "big bang" in biological sciences over the last 15 years."

 

Nutreco also expressed its ongoing commitment to pursue truly innovative science, agri-tech and farming techniques that will enable the company to make a transformative contribution.

 

"We're delighted that our focus on seeking innovative solutions has been recognised," the company said. "As a research-driven, global leader in animal nutrition, we're committed to the important role we must play in helping to address this challenge.  In fact, it's become a passion; driven by our purpose of "Feeding the Future"."
