Norwegian poultry player opts out of Brazilian sourced soy for its broiler feed A Norwegian poultry producer, working with a leading local feed company, has moved to exclude Brazilian soy from its supply chain, relying on a new soy-free feed formulation for its annual broiler production which covers 650,000 birds. The chicken producer, Gårdsand, said the motivation behind this development is its increasing concern about being associated with soy from Brazil, which is claims is linked to deforestation. “We find the risk of including this commodity in our supply chain to be so high that we’ve excluded soy entirely, and shifted to other protein sources,” said May Iren Varlid Aarvold, marketing lead, Gårdsand.
