LanoTech is trialling lanolin, the natural grease in sheep wool, as an alternative ingredient to soy and vegetable oil in animal feed.

​

​We aim to halve the feed industry's reliance on environmentally-damaging oils by utilising a low-value, domestically available resource: British wool. 

 

So far we've discovered that lanolin has higher energy content and stability than conventional feed oils, with comparable digestability. See News.

​

Our motivation is to build a circular economy that reduces agriculture's carbon footprint, and boost farmers incomes by improving the value of wool.​​
