SustainabilityHow quality genetics have been transforming the nation’s poultry value chain
Faced with increased competition and chain integrations, a volatile market and increasing consumer demands, Vietnamese independent poultry farmers’ access to a steady supply of quality day-old chicks was disappearing. Driven by the growing demand for quality farm inputs, a joint venture was established between De Heus Vietnam and Belgabroed – to secure farmers’ access to quality inputs and break ground for a much bigger strategy to bring quality poultry meat to the Vietnamese consumer.

SustainabilityHow a De Heus plant can support fish farming in Uganda and help feed the nation
In June 2023, De Heus began construction of its first dedicated aquafeed plant in Uganda. Located in Njeru, near Jinja, on the north shore of Lake Victoria, the factory is expected to start operations early next year.

Our peopleAugust Lingnau: Regional Sales Manager and National Dairy Product Manager
“I’ve always felt at home in the outdoors,” says August Lingnau, Regional Sales Manager for KwaZulu-Natal and National Dairy Product Manager at De Heus South Africa. Growing up in Phalaborwa, a small town in South Africa’s Limpopo province, he developed a deep appreciation for the land and the role of agriculture. This passion led him to pursue a BSc in Animal Science at the University of Pretoria, followed by a Master’s degree in Ruminant Nutrition at Stellenbosch University. Collaborating with the Outeniqua Research Farm, he worked under industry experts like Professors Robin Meeske and Christiaan Cruywagen. “Their passion for dairy nutrition was contagious, and it pushed me to explore the field in greater depth,” August says.
