EW Nutrition achieves PCAS certification in Australia

EW Nutrition has successfully passed an external audit conducted by the Cattle Council of Australia (CCA) and achieved Pasturefed Cattle Assurance System (PCAS) certification for three products, namely, Activo Premium, Mastersorb Gold and Prote-N.

Activo Premium contains standardised amounts of selected phytomolecules. Mastersorb Gold is part of EW Nutrition's Toxin Risk Management Program, which also includes services, on-site advice and expert consultancy. Prote-N is a slow-release source of non-protein nitrogen (NPN).

The PCAS is a certification programme that enables grassfed cattle producers to prove claims relating to pasturefed or grassfed production methods. EW Nutrition also achieved two optional modules under the PCAS Standards relating to the freedom from antibiotics and hormone growth promotants (HGPs). As a certified supplier, the company is able to provide feed products to the industry to support pasturefed or grassfed production methods.

"We are pleased to receive the certification for our solution offerings in Australia. The qualification of these products is a testament of our commitment to work together with the industry to mitigate the impact of antimicrobial resistance. By pursuing our objectives in animal nutrition, our work contributes to increasing the efficacy of human healthcare," said David Sherwood, commercial director (Oceania) with EW Nutrition.
