Decarbonization of Animal Production: Understanding, Acting and Innovating 

Decarbonization of Animal Production: Sustainable Solutions TIMAC AGRO

     Faced with today’s climate challenges, agriculture must rethink its practices to ensure sustainable production. Decarbonization of animal production is now a strategic lever for combining technical and economic performance, competitiveness, and environmental responsibility. At TIMAC AGRO, a leader in Plant Nutrition and Animal Production, we are making this transition a driver of innovation, in the service of agriculture inspired by nature.  

What is decarbonization in animal production?

     Decarbonizing a farm means taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG): methane, (from enteric fermentation), carbon dioxide (linked to fossil fuels and transport) and nitrous oxide (linked to effluent management). These emissions come mainly from three areas: 

  • Animal feed 
  • Manure management  
  • Energy and resource use 

     Decarbonization in livestock farming aims to control these emissions while supporting the productivity and profitability of farms.

Concrete solutions provided by TIMAC AGRO

     At TIMAC AGRO, we provide tailor-made solutions inspired by nature, developed for nature, and dedicated to its preservation. Thanks to the expertise of our field teams and the innovative strength of the Roullier Group’s World Innovation Center, we support farmers in reducing their carbon footprint while creating sustainable value for their farms and for the planet. 

Optimizing animal feed
At TIMAC AGRO, we design nutritional solutions based on a detailed understanding of the needs of ruminants. By offering mineral supplements, we improve digestibility and feed efficiency while reducing enteric methane emissions. Our formulas incorporate natural ingredients for more efficient and environmentally friendly nutrition.
Effluent recovery
We support farmers in the sustainable management of their livestock waste by providing practical advice on storage and spreading, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, manure becomes a fully-fledged agronomic resource, reintegrated into a virtuous cycle.
Integration of regenerative practices
We encourage the adoption of agroecological practices: maintaining grasslands, crop rotation, planting hedges, and using cover crops. These levers strengthen biodiversity, restore soils, and promote sustainable carbon storage.

Towards a more sustainable agriculture

     Decarbonization is not only a response to climate challenges: it is also an economic opportunity. It reduces energy and input costs, enhances the value of products in markets sensitive to environmental impact, and strengthens the sustainability of farms. At TIMAC AGRO, we are constantly evolving our offering to support farmers on this path. Our innovation is inspired by nature: we study its mechanisms to translate them into concrete, effective and sustainable solutions.
