SowsHow sharing knowledge improved the health status of pigs in Brazil
By sharing knowledge with all our business units, we help farmers worldwide to power progress on their farm. In 2019, Marcino & Daniel from Brazil took part in the Natural Power training in the Netherlands. Marcino is originally a vet and has worked for De Heus Brazil since 2014. During his training, he visited eight farms with more than 8,000 sows and learned all about the Dutch pig sector. His main goal was to learn how to support farmers in Brazil improve the health status on their farms.

DairyHow to provide for a balanced rumen
A well balanced rumen is important because it provides the basis for a cow to function well. As we all know, healthy well-functioning cows have an optimal milk production with proper milk solids. Furthermore, animals that look healthy and that produce milk easily contribute to the dairy farmer's work satisfaction. One of our Dutch Dairy Specialist gives an insight on how to establish this.

SustainabilityThe foundation for a self-sustainable supply chain
Population growth and climate change: the two dilemmas of our time. A country like Ghana is very familiar with these dilemmas. The growing economy is spurring demand for local, safe and healthy food. The Ghanaian government is therefore faced with the challenge of improving local production because Ghana has depended on importing food and agricultural products from Europe for years. The West African country is taking matters into its own hands by embarking on the transition to self-sufficiency. Having a local presence and stimulating local production and knowledge in the poultry sector, De Heus can help facilitate this transition.
