VetosEurope, an agritech company focused on sustainable cattle farming, has been honored with four prestigious awards from World Business Outlook magazine. The accolades recognize the company's commitment to reducing methane emissions while enhancing livestock productivity, a dual goal that positions it as a key player in climate-smart agriculture.
The awards—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—highlight VetosEurope's pioneering work in natural feed supplements.
Founded over a decade ago in Lugano, Switzerland, VetosEurope was born from insights gained in the global live-cattle trade. The company's founder recognized the need for solutions that balance economic viability with environmental responsibility. By collaborating with universities worldwide, VetosEurope developed feed additives that mirror natural compounds, aiming to improve yields without harming ecosystems. This vision is encapsulated in the company's philosophy: "Inspired by nature, to help nature."
Central to VetosEurope's portfolio is Anavrin, a methane-inhibiting feed supplement. Methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is a major byproduct of ruminant digestion. The company's research, including trials at Universidad de la República in Montevideo and Wageningen University and Research, demonstrated significant methane reductions: up to 17.5% in Uruguay and 13% in controlled chamber trials, with a 16.3% decrease in methane intensity. These studies also confirmed that Anavrin maintains milk yield while improving sustainability.
The UK-based Carbon Trust has formally validated Anavrin's effectiveness, adding international credibility. Beyond emissions reduction, Anavrin boosts productivity, increasing meat yield by 70 grams per day and milk output by 1.5 liters per day. This dual benefit of climate impact and productivity is a competitive edge for the company.
"Winning these four prestigious accolades from World Business Outlook is a profound milestone that validates VetosEurope's commitment to reshaping global agriculture," said Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope. "Securing the Best AgriTech & Climate Impact Innovation alongside the Most Sustainable Agriculture Solution awards highlights our team's relentless pursuit of technologies that heal the planet. Furthermore, the R&D Excellence and Sustainable Livestock Farming honours prove that science-backed, data-driven methodology can successfully drive ecological resilience."
Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, commented: "VetosEurope stood out during our rigorous evaluation process as a rare pioneer capable of bridging the gap between rigorous scientific research and scalable, practical climate impact. Their solutions seamlessly address critical modern agricultural pain points—reducing livestock emissions, enhancing soil health, and pioneering AgriTech frameworks that actively combat climate change."
In Italy, VetosEurope is developing a methane reduction project targeting enteric fermentation emissions. The project, structured under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), aims to involve beef and dairy farmers in adopting innovative feeding practices that contribute to climate mitigation and offer potential financial returns from verified emission reductions. The project is also being developed in Uruguay and Spain.
VetosEurope operates with a lean team but has a global reach through partnerships and distribution networks across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. The company's model rests on three pillars: scientific credibility through peer-reviewed research, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach that integrates seamlessly into existing feed systems.
The company's work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly climate action and responsible consumption. For policymakers, Anavrin represents a tangible solution to meet emission reduction targets, while for farmers, it offers a way to future-proof operations against tightening environmental regulations.
With over 2.5 million cattle using Anavrin over the last 11 years and more than 20 scientific research projects backing its performance, VetosEurope is well-positioned to benefit from the global push toward climate-smart agriculture. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, products like Anavrin could become mainstream, solidifying VetosEurope's role as a leader in sustainable livestock farming.
