SustainabilityActive participation within Nevedi
For many years, De Heus has been an active member of the Dutch sector organisation for the animal feed industry, Nevedi.

SustainabilityPioneering the use of residual flows in animal feed
As part of its sustainability strategy, De Heus aims to increase the use of residual flows, by-products and food waste. By taking the residual nutrients contained in by-products from human food production and incorporating them in our animal feed, we not only conserve scarce resources, we also stimulate circularity. While we use residual flows as ingredients in our compound feed, a significant number of farmers are using increasing volumes of residual flows in liquid feed. Ruud Bens, Product Manager Liquid Feed, tells us what progress De Heus has made in supporting farmers in the use of residual flows in liquid feed and the prospects for the future.

SustainabilityOptimising feed production in Egypt
In the northeast of Egypt, aquaculture is showing huge potential as a sustainable source of animal protein. Sustainably producing animal protein is the sum of all its parts; from the sourcing of raw materials and the processing in the factory, to optimising feed conversion. Building on its experience in the poultry sector, De Heus invested in a new aquafeed production plant in Borg El Arab, Alexandria. Here, Amro El Kady and Yasmine Kamar try to optimise the production of animal feed day in and day out.
