Animal Nutrition

We Are Committed to Keep

Your Animal Healthy & Safe

We are committed to our long-term vision to add performance to your business, while being mindful and protective towards the environment in which we operate. With our green achievements in manufacturing, we grow not only our brands, but also our global environmental consciousness.

The new challenge is to keep animals healthy despite the high stocking densities and increasing animal movements worldwide, whilst maintaining performance despite a market that demands a reduction in drug use and more sustainability

Smart Solutions for Feed Quality

The quality of animal feed is typically judged based on its nutritional value and overall appearance. Maintaining quality and nutritional value in feed cannot be achieved solely through sound harvest and storage practices, however. Producers must also consider solutions specially designed to protect feed value.

The Importance of Animal Nutrition

Animal nutrition is the study of the food requirements of animals. These nutritional requirements consist of nutrients, which are the feed components that animals digest and consume.
The method we feed our cattle can have both positive and negative effects on their growth rate, output capability, and health state. Therefore, understanding animal nutrition is essential for operating a profitable and sustainable livestock farm.
Once a commercial feed product has been bought, the nutritional value must show on the product's label, but the nutritional value of products derived from farm products such as fodder crops, crop residues, cereals, etc. must be assessed to ensure they meet nutritional requirements.
Animals can self-regulate, and they stop eating when they feel full. However, if the nutrient content of a feed is extremely low, the eaten feed will not be sufficient to meet their nutritional needs, and they will suffer from malnutrition even if they are fed ad libitum. The nutrient needs of animals can vary among species, within the same species, and based on environmental conditions.
A dairy cow, for instance, will require more calories, water, fiber, and calcium than a beef cow. When developing a diet, the goal of production also plays a role: feedlot, maintenance, organic farming, etc. All of them have distinct necessities

All these achievements can be attributed to a large extent to Animal Nutrition Science, which is about

Improving understanding of the nutritional value of existing feed ingredients through the continual examination of nutritional databases to account for the influence of climate, geographical origin, processing, etc. on the nutritional value of goods. Determining better indicators of the nutritional needs of animals and the nutritional value of a feed: early animal nutrition science focused on crude proteins, crude fats, crude fiber, and minerals; today, feed formulation is based on digestible amino acids, bioavailability of minerals, net energy, etc.
Identifying interactions between feed ingredients and nutritional contents and optimizing their mixture to satisfy the needs of animals.
Identifying anti-nutritional variables and defining measures to eliminate or neutralize them.
Examining the effect of feed content on the quality and composition of animal-derived foods.
Examining the effects of certain micro-ingredients (enzymes, gut flora stabilizers, etc.) and methods (grinding, pelleting, conditioning, coating, rumen protection, etc.) on animal performance, health, welfare, product quality, and environmental impact.
Animal nutrition science has demonstrated its ability to significantly contribute to nutrient-efficient livestock production by promoting the safety and dietary quality of animal products for human consumption, enhancing the animal health and welfare status of farm animals, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and land use associated with livestock production on a per-unit-product basis (e.g. per litre of milk or kg of meat and eggs). The reduction of the feed conversion rate to produce poultry meat by more than 20 percent during the past four decades is exemplary.
