INTERGROUP EVENTHow can circular feed and feed additives be deployed to reduce emissions in monogastric livestock farming?📅 Date:30/04/2026🕐 Time:10:00 - 11:30📍 Location:Room Winston Churchill 100About the EventThe upcoming EU Livestock Strategy highlights the need for livestock farming to contribute its fair share to the decarbonisation of the EU economy. Previously, the Sustainable Livestock Intergroup addressed the ambitions of reducing direct on-farm emissions, such as methane from enteric fermentation in cattle. For monogastrics like pigs and poultry, the production and sourcing of animal feed are the key determinants of the overall carbon footprint of livestock systems, and therefore the key focus to drive decarbonisation.Improvements in data development on feed ingredients is a key essential first step to reliably assess where the pressure points lie, to subsequently enable innovation in animal feed formulation for carbon footprint reduction purposes. An increased use of circular feed ingredients is a key strategy in this regard, as it makes use of resources which are not cultivated with a dedicated purpose of being used as animal feed.This Intergroup session will provide insights into these issues and showcase the main drivers and practical examples for reducing carbon emissions in livestock farming through more sustainable animal feed formulation.Hosted by+Maria GRAPINIMEP RomaniaMember of the European Parliament S&D Partidul Umanist Social Liberal Maria GRAPINICommitteesV-CHAIR IMCOInternal Market & Consumer ProtectionAGRIAgriculture & Rural DevelopmentCONTBudgetary ControlDelegationsV-CHAIR D-MDDelegation to the EU-Moldova Parliamentary Association CommitteeD-JPDelegation for relations with Japan×+Benoit CASSARTMEP BelgiumMember of the European Parliament Renew Mouvement Réformateur Benoit CASSARTCommitteesINTAInternational TradeTRANTransport & TourismAGRIAgriculture & Rural DevelopmentDelegationsDMAGDelegation for relations with the Maghreb countries & the Arab Maghreb Union, including joint committees with Morocco, Tunisia & AlgeriaDANDDAND DelegationDLATDelegation to the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary AssemblyDMERDMER Delegation×+Alexander BERNHUBERMEP AustriaMember of the European Parliament EPP Österreichische Volkspartei Alexander BERNHUBERCommitteesENVIEnvironment, Public Health & Food SafetyPETIPetitionsAGRIAgriculture & Rural DevelopmentDelegationsDCARDelegation to the Cariforum-EU Parliamentary CommitteeDACPDelegation to the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary AssemblyDCABDCAB Delegation×SpeakersChristine PARRYVice-ChairGlobal Feed LCA Institute (GFLI) Jan VÆRUM NØRGAARDProfessorAarhus University Sigrid PAUWELYNEuropean Former Foodstuff Processors Association (EFFPA) / TROTEC ProgrammeWelcomeMaria GrapiniBenoît CassartAlexander BernhuberThe importance of high-quality datasets on the environmental impacts of animal feed ingredientsChristine ParryUsing feed additives to enable lower nitrogen and phosphorus excretionJan Værum NørgaardFormer foodstuff processing as an example of 'circular feed' to reduce GHG emissions related to feed productionSigrid PauwelynExchange of views with MEPsConclusionBenoît CassartIntergroup on Sustainable LivestockThe Intergroup on Sustainable Livestock is a cross-party initiative within the European Parliament fostering dialogue between policymakers, farmers, scientists and stakeholders.
