Our peopleEdwin de Ridder - Head of Logistics
Purchasing raw materials is an important aspect when producing animal feed. But even if we buy the right raw materials, it doesn't mean that they are also available for incorporating in the feed. Edwin de Ridder is head of logistics in the purchasing department. Together with his team, he ensures that all the purchased raw materials are delivered to the factories at exactly the right moment.

Our peopleLucie Humeni – Sales specialist for horses
Usually, people’s memories of their first encounter with horses are firmly etched in their minds. Not Lucie though. She grew up with horses from such a young age that she can’t remember a time when she wasn’t around them. Her love for horses was also encouraged by her aunt, who owns horses and is also a top rider. It was therefore no surprise that Lucie’s focus at secondary school and later university was on agriculture.

PigletsSuccessful approach to piglet farming at De Heus experimental farm
Piglet rearing at the De Heus 'De Elsenpas' Centre for Practical Research has proved very successful. The specific approach and strict hygiene protocols produce excellent results: many weaned piglets per sow, good weaning weights, low loss rate and high feed intake averaging 700 grams per piglet in the farrowing stable. According to farm manager Zias Lukasse, the experimental farm is therefore one of the frontrunners in the pig farming sector.
