Together we Trotect the world by reducing the CO2 footprint of feed
Trotec circular feed ingredient, a sustainable vision
TrotecMix, the circular, high-quality and energy-rich feed ingredient from Trotec is the solution to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your animal feed. All processing is done in-house and meets the highest quality standards.
Working with circular feed ingredients demonstrates a sustainable vision. Using these products in animal feed contributes to a more sustainable agricultural sector, reduces the ecological footprint of livestock farming and supports the transition to a circular economy.
More TrotecMix, less CO2
Because TrotecMix is produced from former foodstuffs and within a low-carbon production process, its CO2 and water footprint is significantly lower than that of primary raw feed material (wheat, barley, corn, etc.). Studies calculating the amount of CO2 emissions for manufacturing TrotecMix show that using TrotecMix significantly reduces the carbon footprint of your animal feed. Contact us for precise figures.
TrotecMix has a higher nutritional and energy value than these primary raw materials. It has a consistent composition and is extremely palatable. Thanks to our unique thermal process, TrotecMix has a long shelf life and its granulometry is optimal for use in hoppers. We are talking about a high-end product, that is excellent for replacing wheat, barley, corn, palm oil and sugar.
New studies from Switzerland (Agroscope) and Belgium (Ilvo) show that the proportion of circular ingredient TrotecMix can account for up to 40% of the composition of animal feed!
Food quality and feed safety
Our feed ingredients are made from products and ingredients originally intended for human consumption. These products therefore already meet the strict quality standards applicable to human nutrition.
In addition, the former foodstuffs arriving at Trotec for processing are FCA, GMP+ and GMO controlled according to GMP+ FRA MI 5.4 certification. These are the strict quality standards applicable within the animal feed industry. Annual audits are carried out at our suppliers for verification.
Trotec has a dedicated quality department. Both Trotec sites in Belgium and France are also GMP+, FCA, GMP+ FRA MI 5.4 certified. Trotec carries out an annual internal verification and validation of HACCP. HACCP is the current preventive reference method, which guarantees the hygienic safety of food products.
Continuous online NIR (Near Infra Red) measurements during the production process ensure the stable composition of the product.
Mixing and drying
A high-performance mixing process and energy-friendly indirect drying process is your assurance of a high-quality end product with microbiological stability that meets all quality and safety standards.
Storage
The homogeneous granulometry results in optimal operational characteristics and fluidity in the hopper silo. The finished product can be stored in dry conditions for 12 months
