    Pivot Bio Releases 2023 Impact Report

    Cindy Zimmerman

    Since 2022, Pivot Bio customers have reduced carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions by over 932,000 metric tons (MT), according to the company’s 2023 impact report. The report looks back on 2023 and provides in-depth evidence demonstrating the critical role microbial nitrogen plays in permanent on-farm decarbonization.

    Last year alone, growers who used Pivot Bio products avoided the emission of more than 700,000 MT of CO2e — nearly 20x the annual capacity of the world’s most advanced direct air capture facility in Iceland.

    “Nitrogen is an essential building block for life and agriculture, necessary to produce the food needed to meet global demand. But the status quo in nitrogen management is not enough,” said Karsten Temme, Pivot Bio co-founder and chief innovation officer. “The data is clear — when our microbial-produced nitrogen is a foundational pillar of a holistic crop nutrition plan, growers can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make a positive on-farm impact that extends across global supply chains.”

    The 2023 Impact Report also highlights the company’s N-OVATOR™ program, the first-ever insetting initiative to focus on nitrous oxide emissions by connecting growers with companies looking to draw down Scope 3 emissions.

    Alltech introducing Levelset to reinforce gut health in pigs

    As the 2024 World Pork Expo gets underway this week in Des Moines, producers will be able to learn about an innovative solution designed to reinforce gut health in pigs from Alltech called Levelset™. In addition, Alltech will be hosting a business seminar at Expo on the U.S. pork industry’s role in global trade, animal health, and sustainability.

    Levelset consists of a blend of key technologies that synergistically supports natural resistance against diarrhea challenges while enhancing overall enteric health. Designed for maximum impact during three different life stages of production, pre-farrow sows, suckling pigs and weaned pigs — Levelset is an exceptional tool in any production strategy.

    Alltech’s Andy Rash and Mark Hulsebus

    “Across the industry, pathogen resistance is an ever-growing challenge, and solutions to reduce reliance on conventional antibiotics are of critical importance,” said Andy Rash, general manager of Alltech’s U.S. swine business. “Levelset is an innovative blend of carefully developed technologies that minimizes undesirable organisms within the gut, thus promoting the overall health and productivity of pigs.”

    The business seminar on “Challenging Health and Productivity – How does the U.S. lead the world in sustainable, profitable pork production?” will be held on Thursday June 6, 10-11:30 am, at the Varied Industries building. Alltech Pork Team Sales and Portfolio Director Mark Hulsebus will moderate the panel including:
    • Dr. Mark Lyons: President and CEO, Alltech
    • Dr. Frank Mitloehner: Director – Clear Center, UC Davis
    • Maria Zieba: VP of Government Affairs, NPPC
    • Dr. Gordon Spronk: DVM Chair Emeritus, Pipestone

    To learn more about Levelset at World Pork Expo, visit the Alltech Pork Team at the Alltech Booth #V419 and the Hospitality Tent #EV420. Experts from Alltech, Hubbard and Ridley Feed Ingredients will be on site to discuss proactive nutrition strategies and solutions, new technologies, upcoming research and development, and trending industry topics. For more information, visit go.alltech.com/swine-research.

    DPH Biologicals Unveils New Technology Platform

    Cindy Zimmerman

    DPH Biologicals has announced its new Prime platform to deliver next generation biologicals with an expanded portfolio.

    The platform uses a patented production process for Bacillus spp., a leading plant growth rhizobacterium, to accelerate the germination of bacteria spores, supporting overall plant development while providing crops with more consistent resilience against heat, drought, and alkaline and saline soil conditions.

    “Historically biologicals have been dinged for inconsistent performance when used in a variety of environmental conditions. By utilizing a unique manufacturing process, we’ve enabled Bacillus spores to germinate faster resulting in more consistent performance especially in stressful conditions. Ultimately, Prime gives channel partners and growers more confidence in biologicals and allows them to differentiate from the plethora of microbial-based products on the market,” said Mick Messman, DPH Bio President and CEO.

    DPH Bio has exclusive rights to offer Prime-based products and has recently integrated Prime into several existing biofertilizers in its TerraTrove™ product line, including Envelix Prime available this fall and Essential™ Prime PAK available for the 2025 crop season.

    For more information about DPH Bio’s technology platforms – RegenAphex™ and Prime, as well as DPH Bio’s expanded product portfolio, visit www.dphbio.com.
