DairyOptimal Resistance – OmniGen Experiences
OmniGen supports the resistance of a cow in a natural way. A cow's immune system is regularly under fire by a host of organisms, including bacteria and viruses. In addition, stress has a negative effect on the operation of the immune system. Changes in the daily rhythm of a cow cause the cow to be under stress, which produces the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone suppresses the immune system.

SustainabilityThe foundation for a self-sustainable supply chain
Population growth and climate change: the two dilemmas of our time. A country like Ghana is very familiar with these dilemmas. The growing economy is spurring demand for local, safe and healthy food. The Ghanaian government is therefore faced with the challenge of improving local production because Ghana has depended on importing food and agricultural products from Europe for years. The West African country is taking matters into its own hands by embarking on the transition to self-sufficiency. Having a local presence and stimulating local production and knowledge in the poultry sector, De Heus can help facilitate this transition.
