A new member for the Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI): Schothorst Feed Research, an independent research company in the nutrition of farm animals contributing to a global sustainable livestock production chain via applied scientific research and innovation, validated feedstuff matrix, nutrient recommendations and independent consultancy.

‘De Schothorst’ has been established in 1934 by animal feed cooperatives in The Netherlands to check the quality of feeds produced by individual members. Starting animal nutrition research for improved feed formulation, feed quality and better animal performance in 1938, the Institute is currently servicing more than 250 customers in the global animal feed and protein industry. Our ambition is to support and inspire partners to contribute to a sustainable livestock production chain by developing and implementing animal nutrition knowledge.

Animal feed is responsible for 70% of the carbon footprint of animal proteins. GFLI provide us the certified impact values per feed material and using Certified LCA and foot print calculation tools we support our customers to formulate and optimize diets on basis of least cost in combination with least impact.
