ChainCraft, a producer of sustainable chemicals from food waste, has entered a long-term exclusive supply agreement for butyric acid with Innovad Group, a global supplier in animal health and nutrition solutions. Through this collaboration, ChainCraft will supply fatty acids of high purity to Innovad, enabling the production of low-carbon advanced feed additives that support both animal intestinal health and environmental sustainability.
This partnership not only promotes sustainability within the animal feed industry but also brings a unique synergy between two innovators. ChainCraft’s cutting-edge fermentation technology transforms organic residues into high-value short and medium chain fatty acids, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil and palm oil-based products.
Innovad, headquartered in Belgium, specializes in natural, science-backed feed solutions that improve animal welfare and performance while minimizing environmental impact. Its portfolio supports farmers globally in lowering disease occurrence, mortality and feed requirement, all of which improve animal welfare and sustainability of their farm.
By integrating ChainCraft’s bio-based fatty acids into its product portfolio, Innovad aims to enhance the health and nutrition of livestock while reducing dependency on non-renewable resources.
“Our strategic collaboration with ChainCraft allows us to pioneer the use of sustainable, upcycled, high-quality ingredients into our feed solutions, directly contributing to healthier animals and more sustainable farming practices,” said Ben Letor, CEO of Innovad Group. “This partnership reflects our commitment to provide innovative products that meet the growing needs for better, circular solutions in animal nutrition.”
Both companies represent the forefront of European innovation, combining technological expertise with a shared vision of sustainability. “Working with Innovad is a perfect fit for us,” said Marc den Hartog, CEO of ChainCraft. “Their dedication to natural and effective animal health solutions aligns with our mission to create value from locally available natural resources. Together, we’re setting new standards for sustainability in animal health.”
The agreement highlights the growing demand for sustainable, deforestation-free solutions and the power of collaboration to drive industry-wide change. With this partnership, ChainCraft and Innovad are poised to make a lasting impact on both animal health and environmental stewardship.
