ChainCraft and Innovad Group forge exclusive long-term supply agreement to boost sustainability in animal health
ChainCraft, a frontrunner in the production of sustainable chemicals of food waste, has entered a long-term exclusive supply agreement for butyric acid to the animal nutrition sector with Innovad Group, a global leader in animal health and nutrition solutions.
Through this collaboration, ChainCraft will supply fatty acids of high purity to Innovad, enabling production of low carbon advanced feed additives that support both animal intestinal health and environmental sustainability.
This partnership not only promotes sustainability within the animal feed industry but also brings a unique synergy between two innovators. ChainCraft's cutting-edge fermentation technology transforms organic residues into high-value short & medium chain fatty acids, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil and palm oil-based products.
Innovad, headquartered in Belgium, specialises in natural, science-backed feed solutions that improve animal welfare and performance, while minimising environmental impact.
Its portfolio supports farmers globally in lowering disease occurrence, mortality and feed requirement – all of which improves animal welfare and sustainability of their farm.
By integrating ChainCraft's bio-based fatty acids into its product portfolio, Innovad aims to enhance the health and nutrition of livestock while reducing dependency on non-renewable resources. "Our strategic collaboration with ChainCraft allows us to pioneer the use of sustainable, upcycled, high-quality ingredients into our feed solutions, directly contributing to healthier animals and more sustainable farming practices," said Ben Letor, CEO of Innovad Group. "This partnership reflects our commitment to provide innovative products that meet the growing needs for better, circular solutions in Animal nutrition."
Both companies represent the forefront of European innovation, combining technological expertise with a shared vision of sustainability.
"Working with Innovad is a perfect fit for us," said Marc den Hartog, CEO of ChainCraft. "Their dedication to natural and effective animal health solutions aligns with our mission to create value from locally available natural resources. Together, we're setting new standards for sustainability in animal health."
The agreement highlights the growing demand for sustainable, deforestation-free solutions and the power of collaboration to drive industry-wide change. With this partnership, ChainCraft and Innovad are poised to make a lasting impact on both animal health and environmental stewardship.
