Helping farmers in South Africa reduce their use of antibiotics

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human and animal health. De Heus is committed to not only eliminating antibiotics from its feed by 2030, but also to helping farmers reduce their use of antibiotics as a preventive measure against disease.

As a result, administering antibiotics to animals is an everyday practice on South African farms.
