For us, every day is #WorldFoodDay

Today – October 16 – marks the 75th anniversary of the FAO, the food and agriculture agency of the United Nations, which takes the lead in international efforts to defeat hunger worldwide. These efforts are – unfortunately – as necessary today as they were 75 years ago. Access to safe, affordable, and healthy food is a daily struggle for people in large parts of the world. In 2017 more than 800 million people where still undernourished. This year the Covid-19 pandemic placed extra stress on food supply chains all around the globe.

How 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.

Celine Chang - Manager Global Support Poultry

Celine Change (33) has always had wide interests. As a student at Wageningen University, she chose to specialise in nutrition and adaptation physiology. Knowing about an animal's physiology is one thing, but how can you influence physiological and other environmental aspects through nutrition? Celine wanted to know more. When she was in Australia for a study project in 2012, she found some information about the traineeship at De Heus. She was immediately intrigued. Next November, it will be 9 years since Celine joined De Heus, where she is currently Manager Global Support Poultry.
