dsm-firmenich and Allix Partner to Unlock Sustainable Feed Production Value with Sustell^TM

dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health has announced a strategic partnership with Allix, the leading feed formulation software developed by A-Systems. This collaboration aims to measure and manage the environmental footprint of animal feed.

The two organizations will integrate dsm-firmenich’s industry-leading lifecycle assessment (LCA) platform, Sustell^TM, with Allix’s feed formulation software to significantly reduce the environmental impact of feed production.

Innovative Sustainable Solutions

Powered by Sustell^TM, Allix is developing a dedicated sustainability module that will allow users to gain insights into the environmental implications of their feed formulations. This module will enable users to seamlessly ingest their data into Sustell^TM while working within the Allix environment. It will be available as an add-on to the Allix subscription, further enhancing its value proposition.

David Nickell, dsm-firmenich’s Vice President of Sustainability & Business Solutions for Animal Nutrition & Health, emphasized the importance of this integration, stating:

“Feed is a vital component in the food value chain. By merging the innovative Sustell^TM platform with Allix’s established feed formulation software, we are fostering a unified commitment to developing the entire farm-to-fork data ecosystem. The LCA footprinting capabilities of Sustell^TM are essential to address sustainability challenges and unlock significant value across the value chain.”
