Triple S soya – sustainably sourced and supplied origins of soya – are now used in one of the UK’s main pre-starter and starter pig and poultry diets.

According to Norman Downey, commercial director of Cargill UK, this soya was part of the company’s sustainability strategy and has the same nutritional value as the previously used soya, therefore no reformulation is required.

Triple S soya is sourced from areas in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay that are guaranteed deforestation-free since 2008.

“The soya in Triple S is also fully traceable to individual farms so the supply chain, including feed compounders and retailers, know exactly where is comes from. Also, its production is part of farmer-focused sustainability programmes,” said Mr Downey.

“Each producer is independently audited and supported with agronomy advice and continuous improvement goals. Farmers must meet social, economic and environmental targets, set out under the Triple S production guidelines.”

It meets the European Feed Manufacturers’ Federation (FEFAC) requirements for sustainably sourced soya and is recognised by UK retailers as a step towards more sustainable sourcing of animal feed and increasing sustainability in the supply chain.
