VetosEurope Wins 4 Sustainability Awards for Methane-Cutting Feed Additive

In a landmark achievement for sustainable agriculture, VetosEurope, an agritech company headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, has been honored with four prestigious awards from World Business Outlook magazine. The accolades—Best AgriTech Innovation & Climate Impact Innovation Award Europe 2026, Most Sustainable Agriculture Solution of the Year Europe 2026, Best Scientific Research & Development Excellence Award Europe 2026, and Outstanding Sustainable Livestock Farming Solution Europe 2026—recognize the company's pioneering work in natural feed supplements that reduce methane emissions while enhancing cattle productivity. VetosEurope, founded over a decade ago by a family deeply involved in the global live-cattle trade, has partnered with universities worldwide to develop feed additives that mirror natural compounds, embodying their philosophy: "Inspired by nature, to help nature."

At the core of VetosEurope's portfolio is Anavrin, a methane-inhibiting feed supplement that has shown remarkable results in independent trials. Studies conducted by Universidad de la República in Montevideo and Wageningen University and Research confirmed that Anavrin reduces methane emissions by up to 17.5% and 13% respectively, while also reducing methane intensity by 16.3%. Importantly, these reductions are achieved without compromising milk yield; in fact, Anavrin boosts meat yield by 70 grams per day and milk output by 1.5 liters per day. The UK-based Carbon Trust has also validated Anavrin's effectiveness, adding international credibility. This dual benefit—climate impact plus productivity—gives VetosEurope a competitive edge in the market.

The company's commitment to scientific validation and practical solutions has not gone unnoticed. Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope, expressed that these awards validate the team's relentless pursuit of technologies that heal the planet. Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, praised VetosEurope for bridging rigorous scientific research with scalable climate impact. Beyond the awards, VetosEurope is actively implementing a methane reduction project in Italy, Uruguay, and Spain, certified under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard, offering farmers the opportunity to adopt innovative feeding practices and receive financial returns from verified emission reductions. With a lean team but global reach, VetosEurope operates on three pillars: scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach. Their work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly climate action and responsible consumption. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, VetosEurope's products like Anavrin are poised to become mainstream, offering a tangible solution for policymakers and a way for farmers to future-proof their operations against tightening environmental regulations.
