Feed for FoodStimulating and enabling research
A consortium of companies within the Netherlands Association of the Animal Feed Industry, NEVEDI, and the animal production chain, in collaboration with Wageningen University, has developed a Livestock Research programme: Feed4Foodure. De Heus financially supports this programme. In fact, we fulfil a pioneering role in this. And we not only provide financial support, we also gladly share the use of numerous research facilities on our own research farms. Our objective is to make a substantial contribution to a sustainable and healthy livestock industry in the Netherlands. And together, to reinforce our competitive position on the global market. Feed4Foodure focuses on three areas of research:
-
Feed for FoodSafety and consistency: our two core ingredients for animal feed production

To meet the nutritional needs of livestock and aquaculture and generate predictable results, De Heus has implemented a consistent feed quality approach across all its business units. So, whether you’re in Poland, the Netherlands or Ghana – every bag of feed that a De Heus factory produces tomorrow will have the same feed quality as today.

Feed for FoodResearch at local research farms worldwide
In almost all countries where we are located, we have local research farms. Here, we perform a myriad of feed tests using a wide range of variables. This way, we are able to accurately determine the exact type of feed, and the precise circumstances, that will lead to strong, healthy animals and an efficient feed conversion. The knowledge we acquire thanks to these research farms will be used to improve and innovate our products.

Feed for FoodHow quality genetics have been transforming the nation’s poultry value chain
Faced with increased competition and chain integrations, a volatile market and increasing consumer demands, Vietnamese independent poultry farmers’ access to a steady supply of quality day-old chicks was disappearing. Driven by the growing demand for quality farm inputs, a joint venture was established between De Heus Vietnam and Belgabroed – to secure farmers’ access to quality inputs and break ground for a much bigger strategy to bring quality poultry meat to the Vietnamese consumer.

Feed for FoodStimulate the efficiency of phosphates and minerals
In Europe dairy farmers are limited in their business management by the phosphate regulations introduced on 2 July 2015. If they want to grow without purchasing extra land or extra phosphate rights, they simply have to produce more milk per kilogramme of phosphate. This requires a careful strategy, which may vary from one company to the next.
