1 The Role of Specialty Feed Ingredients on Livestock Sustainability Michael Binder, Chairman FEFANA Task Force on Sustainable Agriculture 2 ND Workshop on Environmental Footprint Measurement in the Feed and Livestock Sectors, FEFAC, June 13, 2012 About us What are Specialty Feed Ingredients? Sustainability in the livestock production how can it be explained? Sustainability in the livestock production some About us What are Specialty Feed Ingredients? 1

2 About us what are Specialty Feed Ingredients? FEFANA founded in 1963, is the EU Association of Specialty Feed Ingredients and their mixtures. It is the united voice of the specialty feed ingredients industry in the European Union Specialty Feed Ingredients feed additives functional feed ingredients premixes and other mixtures of specialty ingredients About us what are Specialty Feed Ingredients? Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council on Additives for Use in Animal Nutrition «Feed Additives» means substances, microorganisms or preparations (..) which are intentionally added to feed ( ) to perform on or more of the following functions : favorably affect the characteristics of the feed Satisfy the nutritional demand of the animals favorably affect the environmental consequences of animal production favorably affect animal production, performance or welfare particularly by affecting the gastro-intestinal flora or digestibility of feeding stuff About us What are Specialty Feed Ingredients? 2

3 Sustainability a Common understanding Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Source: World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), (Brundtland Commission 1983) Sustainability a Common understanding I = P x A x T The formula describes the impact of human activity on the environment. It was created by Paul Ralph Ehrlich in the 1970s. I P A T is the impact on the environment resulting from consumption is the population number is the consumption per capita (affluence) is the technology factor Paul Ralph Ehrlich (born 29 May 1932) is an American biologist and educator who is the Bing Professor of Population Studies in the Department of Biological Sciences at Stanford University and President of Stanford s Center for Conservation Biology.

6 About us What are Specialty Feed Ingredients? The Joint IFIF / FEFANA Project Objective: Establish the positive role of the use of certain Specialty Feed Ingredients on the environmental impact of livestock production Output: Global Manual of Best Nutritional Practices for Sustainable Livestock to contribute (a) to FAO Global Agenda for Action (b) to provide a good manual for farmers and producers of animal protein The Joint IFIF / FEFANA Project Scope: Multi step Approach to assess and mitigate the environmental impacts of livestock production using feed additives Phase 1: Draft Manual on the IRPP BREF DOC Activities (amino acids, enzymes, benzoic acid) Phase 2: LCA Cradle to Grave on world scale exemplarily with amino acids and enzymes Phase 3: LCA Cradle to Grave on world scale with other feed additives not covered in phase 2 6
