How dsm-firmenich’s Precision Services are Improving Productivity and Sustainability Across Livestock Agriculture

Advances in precision livestock farming and precision nutrition are giving us a clearer picture of how to optimize livestock and aqua farming. Offering information to help producers reduce costs, become more sustainable, identify investment opportunities and predict unknown health problems, these technologies are offering support to those in animal production and also ensuring we can effectively and efficiently feed our growing global population.

dsm-firmenich is one organisation that has been developing solutions in this field with two key services. The first is Sustell™, an intelligent sustainability service being used for different monogastric and ruminant species and the second is Verax™, an animal health tool which is currently in place for poultry producers but will be rolled out to other species in the future.

Feedinfo sat down with Ivo Lansbergen, President of Animal Nutrition & Health at dsm-firmenich to better understand why companies like dsm-firmenich are investing in the precision technology space, their current solutions offering, the link between precision farming and sustainability operations, how precision services are leading to efficiencies throughout animal protein value chains and what is next for this field.
