SAI Platform is pleased to announce that Ireland’s Origin Green, Dairy Australia and the US Dairy Stewardship Commitment will be fully integrated into the Sustainable Dairy Partnership (SDP) from July 2022.

In 2021 a project was set up to integrate the national programmes from Ireland, Australia and the US into the SDP. This started with an independent consultant conducting a detailed equivalency assessment of each national programme against the SDP requirements. The assessments showed that each programme had a different level of equivalency when benchmarked against the SDP, reinforcing the need for a flexible and localised approach.

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
