Measuring carbon footprint reduction is an essential aspect of sustainable feed production. LCAs verified by GFLI consider all of the inputs that go into a feed ingredient, including manufacturing processes, energy use, transportation, packaging, and more. The ultimate metric is the reduction in feed’s carbon footprint. Compared to sulphate or oxide sources of copper listed in the GFLI database, IntelliBond® C delivers a 26.8% reduction in the carbon footprint. The reduction can also be seen in the carbon footprint for complete feed. For example, formulating a complete broiler feed using IntelliBond® C, Z, and M resulted in a 9.5% weighted average reduction within the feed’s trace mineral pac.
