SustainabilityFighting the waste of food
We are doing our utmost to ensure maximum efficiency in the conversion of vegetable raw materials into animal proteins. We also strive to achieve maximum output at minimum input. In addition, we come into action to prevent wastage. Whenever we can, any residual and side streams from food production processes are utilised as ingredients for animal feeds. Naturally, we are actively sharing our knowledge and experience in this field with our foreign sister companies.

SustainabilitySharing knowledge and insights
To ensure that our specialists around the world would be able to keep themselves up-to-date regarding the latest developments, we founded the Feed Academy in 2015. It is a unique initiative that allows us to combine online learning with practical training courses on livestock farms. All knowledge and new insights thus acquired by our own professionals, they will happily share with livestock farmers in the region where they operate. In addition, we help them improve their professional skills in other ways as well. For example, we organise seminars and training courses for our customers, concerning the application of animal feed, livestock farming, and stable management.
