Peas have a nutrient-rich composition, high in protein, starch and fibre.
The Right Formula
Did you know feed accounts for over half of the carbon footprint of pork*?
The carbon reduction equation doesn't need to be complicated. Animal feed is a significant contributor to the total carbon footprint of livestock production, even accounting for the majority of the footprint of Canadian pork production.* Changing feed formulation is a cost-effective, simple solution that doesn't require an overhaul to the way you do business.
Incorporating peas into your feed can lower the carbon footprint of pork by up to 18%
