Want to know how to reduce your carbon footprint? 

At Duynie we have found a simple way to substantially reduce the amount of CO2e (nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) attributed to the production of milk, while at the same time reducing feed cost. Duynie recognise that not only are farmers challenged with maintaining profitability, there is also a growing need to reduce emissions.

Want to reduce your carbon footprint? Feed Co-products!

Co-products and circularity
Duynie products support a circular food system where potential waste instead become inputs for new growth. For example, arable farmers grow crops which are made into products for human consumption. The resulting co-products such as Brewers Grains, Potato Cream and Sedagold Syrups become valued nutritious livestock feeds. The livestock then produce meat and milk to feed humans as well as manure that goes back to fertilise the land. Circularity offers a sustainable way to feed the growing population and protect natural resources. As they are a link in a circular chain, co-product feeds often have much lower carbon footprints than traditional compound alternatives.
Supporting dairy performance
As well as being sustainable Duynie co-products achieve results they are also proven to be as effective as compounds, if not more so. Duynie are leaders in our field and all of our products are rigorously analysed and expertly balanced to ensure the complex physiological processes of dairy cows are supported. For example, our blends match nitrogen and carbohydrate requirements to facilitate effective protein assimilation therefore avoiding nitrogen wastage through gas and urine.

Major organisations are focused on boosting agricultural efficiency and establish consistent ways to gather data on agricultural emissions. Meanwhile, the European Commission are focusing on low-carbon feed. But what can individual farmers do to make an effective and immediate change? Changing to co-product feeds is a straightforward way to build a business that is both profitable and sustainable. We at Duynie are particularly passionate about moist and liquid co-products and their ability to help farmers make a substantial reduction in emissions and achieve improved efficiency.

Making the change
Whilst it is calculated that on average 1.25kg of CO2e is produced for every 1 litre of milk (AHDB) and that approximately 60% of this can be assigned to feed, incorporating co-products is a choice that will give the farmer an effective and immediate impact in reducing their farm’s carbon footprint. With the added benefits of palatability and consistency which promote forage intakes, using co-products will allow you to reduce or even replace bought in dry feeds, increasing profitability. For conscientious farmers eager to tackle emissions, boost productivity and protect profits, co-products will be part of a sustainable future. So, call us to calculate your carbon footprint and start the journey with Duynie, specialists in sustainable feed solutions.
