Animal Nutrition: Pea Protein
Nuverta Pea Protein for Animal Nutrition
Sustainable. Nutritional. Plant-Based Performance.
At Nuverta, we believe in unlocking the full nutritional potential of yellow peas. Our pea protein is a clean-label, sustainable ingredient designed to support the health, performance, and productivity of a wide range of animals — from pigs and poultry to ruminants, aquaculture species, and horses.
Sustainability and Local Sourcing
Our carbon footprint is just 0.8 kg CO₂ eq, one of the lowest on the market. Here’s why:
Yellow peas naturally enrich the soil by fixing nitrogen
Grown in Belgium and neighboring countries
Produced in Mettet, Belgium using a 100% mechanical, chemical-free, water-free process
This ensures a minimal environmental footprint while valorizing every part of the pea: protein, starch, and fibre.
