Our global research supports our farmers to feed their animals sustainably
The growing demand for animal proteins requires new, innovative methods to ensure maximum efficiency in the conversion of plant-based raw materials into animal proteins. Maximizing output reduces waste and lowers the ecological and environmental footprint. In response to this challenge, De Heus invests a great deal in research into nutrition with research centres for poultry, pigs, cattle and fish all over the world. We localize these research centres in regions with the best knowledge of and experience with the relevant animal group is present. For example, our international research centres for pig nutrition and dairy farming are based in the Netherlands. Our international aqua research centre can be found in Vietnam. Our international poultry research is based in a few international poultry hubs.
