De Heus takes over poultry slaughterhouses Van Miert

Royal De Heus has signed the conditional agreement for the complete acquisition of the poultry slaughter houses from Van Miert Breukelen and Mieki Hunsel recently. With two production sites and a total slaughter capacity of 850,000 chicks per week, Van Miert has a strong market position. With this step, the slaughter capacity in the Netherlands remains guaranteed. The proposed acquisition has yet to be approved by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).

Optimal feeding of broiler breeders to produce vital broilers

Excellent chick quality is of importance for the proper start-up of a flock of broilers. This already starts during the formation of the egg and the embryo in the broiler breeder. As soon as the hatching egg is laid, all of the nutrients needed for the embryo to develop until hatch, must be present. The broiler breeder itself and its nutrition play an important role in this regard. De Heus, in cooperation with Wageningen University & Research, recently initiated an extensive long-term study of the influence of the broiler breeder’s nutrition on chick quality.

“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.

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.
