Mr Shotaro Takasugi, Director & General Manager of Zenkei Corporation and Dr Mongkol Kaewsutas, Director Precision Services Greater APAC at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health at the Sustell™ partnership signing.
dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has announced a partnership with Zenkei Company Limited, a premier livestock nutrition company, to advance sustainability in Japan’s feed and egg production sectors. The two organisations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to implement dsm-firmenich’s Sustell™, the industry-leading life cycle assessment (LCA) platform to measure and improve the environmental footprint of animal proteins.
The official signing ceremony marks a major milestone in Zenkei Company Limited’s sustainability journey as it takes proactive measures to enhance its environmental performance. By leveraging Sustell™, Zenkei Company Limited aims to set new benchmarks in quality and sustainability for the Japanese egg industry.
The partnership will see Zenkei Company Limited implement dsm-firmenich’s cutting-edge cloud-based solution to accurately measure, optimize, and reduce the environmental footprint of feed and animal protein. By embracing the circular economy concept, Zenkei is developing a low environmental footprint feed that incorporates dried food waste. This feed boasts a 30-50% lower environmental footprint compared to conventional feeds, as measured by Sustell™.
This collaboration reinforces both organizations' shared vision of setting new sustainability standards in egg production and ensuring long-term environmental responsibility for Japan’s egg industry.
Dr. Mongkol Kaewsutas, Director Precision Services Greater APAC at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health, added, “This partnership represents a significant step forward in promoting sustainable practices across the egg production value chain. By utilizing the Sustell™ platform, Zenkei Company Limited can leverage precise data to optimize operations, reduce environmental impact, and support Japan’s broader sustainability objectives.”
Mr Shotaro Takasugi, Director & General Manager of Zenkei Corporation said “To maximize the efficiency and sustainability of nutritious animal protein, we must go beyond effective feed additives and improved farm management. It is equally important to utilize nutrients that are otherwise unavailable for human consumption, such as ‘eco-feed’ derived from processed food waste. This is why the environmental footprint calculation provided by Sustell™ is an indispensable component of our strategy.”
This MOU between dsm-firmenich and Zenkei Company Limited exemplifies the growing commitment to responsible and sustainable food production. As the Japanese egg industry continues to evolve, this collaboration will serve as a benchmark for best practices in environmental stewardship and operational excellence.
