In recent years, there has been growing interest in more precise tailoring of trace element provision in cattle. Traditionally, rations were formulated well above the calculated requirement, primarily to avoid the risk of deficiencies.

Differentiation in feed goes beyond nutrients. Discover how science‑driven phytotechnology is shaping consistent performance, robust animal health and future‑proof formulations—rooted in the Nutreco Garden of the Future.

Maximum performance under complex conditions. Modern broiler production challenges birds with high growth potential, fluctuating raw materials and heat stress—raising the bar for nutrition and management strategies.

Sustainability on a dairy farm should be looked at from different angles. The nutrition angle is an important one here. Not only which raw materials we choose, but also the trace mineral source matters.

Vitamin E plays a crucial role in the health and performance of dairy cattle. As an essential fat-soluble vitamin that the body cannot produce, its importance is especially significant during the dry and transition periods of dairy cows.

Dutch compound feed companies ABZ Diervoeding, ForFarmers, Vitelia Voeders and Voergroep Zuid, in collaboration with Trouw Nutrition, have conducted a study into toe-pecking in laying hens. This problem is particularly present in white, highly-productive laying hens and leads to additional losses. Research based on a comparison between white and brown laying hens, on the one hand, and between hens that have been toe-pecked and those that have not, on the other hand, shows that the problem comprises a genetic component, where fat metabolism probably plays a major role.

Due to recent events, the production of Vitamin A & E in Europe is currently experiencing a decline. Leading to a now greater risk of not having enough supply of these essential vitamins for the feed market. Here, we’ll explore strategies to manage this uncertainty.
