Carbon Reduction Programme Layers

Navigate. Sustain. Succeed.

The Carbon Reduction Programme Layers is a comprehensive suite of unique nutritional solutions designed to support animals from early rearing to late production and reduce the carbon footprint per kilogram eggs. 

The programme aims to support the egg industry to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining productivity and improving profitability. 

Proven solutions for a sustainable future

The programme enables data driven decision making, resulting in actionable insights that translate science into profit. By facilitating collaboration across the egg industry, we facilitate the development of a more future-proof industry. 

  • EXPERT GUIDANCE

    Through targeted, ready-to-implement strategies, we provide expert guidance tailored to the specific needs of each stakeholder in the egg industry. 

  • ENHANCED COLLABORATION

    Developing a platform to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we empower our partners with the insights and tools necessary to meet industry targets.

  • TAILORED APPROACH

    Tailored advice and support are offered at every stage of the process, regardless of the starting point. 

How the programme works 

The Carbon Reduction Programme Layers combines advanced animal nutrition solutions, digital tools and expert-led implementation strategies to deliver tailored carbon reduction pathways. Based on decades of animal nutrition expertise and the latest analytical techniques, it provides the actionable insights and nutritional solutions required to deliver measurable results. 

How do we establish your status to create an effective strategy? 

  • Measure baseline: Measure your status using MyEggPrint to establish a baseline carbon footprint per kilogram of eggs, taking into account animal numbers, eggs produced per hen housed, energy and manure management.    
  • Identify hotspots: Identify your emissions hotspots and model the potential impact of optimization measures using our suite of digital tools.   
  • Investigate impact of nutritional solutions: Analyse the effects of changes in feed, energy usage and manure management. 
  • Run scenario analysis: Use MyEggPrint to evaluate the effects of the impact of nutritional solutions on productivity, profitability and carbon footprint. 
  • Establish a long-term plan: Use the Carbon Reduction Programme Layers to establish a long-term emissions reduction roadmap with measurable KPIs to navigate your way to success.   
  • Measure, monitor and manage: Review every decision made for the effect on carbon footprint, profitability and productivity using MyEggPrint – measure progress, monitor steps taken to refine the plan, and manage and report your success. 

Impactful strategies: Optimise your laying hen cycle 

The key factor in our holistic approach to reducing the carbon footprint per kg of eggs is maximising longevity potential. The programme gives you access to a wide range of tailored nutritional solutions designed to unlock genetic potential and boost the health and performance of laying hens throughout their life cycle. 

Tailored nutritional solutions at each stage of the laying hens’ life cycle:

  • Supporting the pullet by unlocking genetic potential for optimal health and growth by supporting the development of the digestive system and ensuring proper skeletal and body frame development. 

  • Develop sufficient feed intake capacity for rapid onset of lay. Ensuring proper calcium metabolism and medullary bone function is key, together with managing gut health stressors. 

  • Enabling optimal eggshell quality by managing egg size and ensuring optimal liver function.  

  • Sustaining optimal eggshell quality by managing the egg size, ensuring optimal liver function and manage gut health stressors.
