Food production, particularly animal protein production, is changing. While productivity, efficiency and food quality continue to be of vital importance, there is increasing pressure on producers to prioritize sustainability and animal health and welfare as well minimize food waste.

Optimizing vitamin nutrition can help make animal production more sustainable by optimizing animal health and welfare and animal performance and food quality, while reducing food waste.
