Our sustainability focus

By 2050, forecasts estimate the population of the UK will be approximately 77 million, resulting in increased demand for protein products.

Projections show that chicken production will need to increase by 5 million birds per week, and pig production by 115 thousand. These combined will require an additional 2.8 million tonnes of feed per year.

Alongside productivity, precision feeding and farm efficiency look to be the key driving forces for the future success of our pig and poultry industry. At ABN we apply a partnership approach to meet this demand. By focus on productivity, profitability and performance we can support the future of our industry.

As part of our wider commitment, we announced our intention to build the UK's largest state-of-the-art animal feed mill, in order for us to meet the capacity demand for pig and poultry feed in the UK.

As our industry faces increasing pressure from retailers, processors and consumers to meet ambitious Net Zero goals, we are all needing to understand the environmental impact of our part in the supply chain.

Partnerships with your supply chain are more important that ever in helping you to increase your productivity. ABN would be proud to be a part of your journey. 

Partnerships with your supply chain are more important than ever in helping you to increase your productivity, profitability, and performance as well as achieving your environmental targets to guarantee future success.

"We are constantly evaluating our product range to increase sustainability, whilst also looking at potential alternative raw materials to see how they fit into a productive feeding programme,” says Brian Kenyon, ABN’s Senior Nutrition Manager. 

ABN’s pig nutritionist, Dr Tegan Whiting explains, “Profiling our raw materials has enabled us to effectively build a database of their carbon emissions, incorporating a multitude of impacts including transport. By building on GFLI and AIC methodology, we can give values consistent with industry standards. This will help our customers to benchmark where they currently are before exploring alternatives to reduce their footprint.”
