On the farm approach | De Heus Animal Nutrition

The power of our approach is that we can offer products tailored to the specific local situation of every individual customer.

Farmers: the guardians of biodiversity

For centuries, extensive cattle farming has helped shape the unique landscape of Spain’s western region. Rural areas in Western Spain are increasingly being deserted by young people due to lack of opportunities. Facing a lack of succession, many aging farmers eventually go out of business. And with grazing cattle disappearing, the delicate balance of the grassland ecosystem is under serious threat. A group of passionate researchers, agricultural experts and local farmers are on a mission to revitalise the extensive farmer’s profession. Leading the efforts of De Heus in this initiative is Jesús Carrizo, Technical Director at De Heus Spain.

Assuring the existence of pig farmers in South-East Asia

In the pig farming business, healthy and strong piglets form the basis of healthy porkers. This is not just about giving the right, high-quality feeds, but also about carefully planned feed management. Another essential aspect is to inseminate sows with high-quality sperm. That is why we have opened our own sperm station in 2016. This way, we are able to guarantee independence and a bright future for sow farms in South-East Asia.
