A Global Challenge
The global population is forecast to rise from
7 billion to 10 billion by 2050 which is
estimated to increase the demand for meat
by 75% and for milk by 53% compared to
current production levels.
With finite land and resources available, livestock
productivity must improve significantly to meet this
demand, but it must be done in a way which respects
and cares for the environment and animal welfare.
This is the global animal productivity challenge.

Feed Fats to Improve

Fat supplements are used in diets for dairy enabling energy density to be increased without
