Our laboratories

With five modern laboratories spread across the globe, we monitor the quality of our raw materials and end products on a daily basis. Through rigorous analysis, we ensure that all ingredients meet our specifications and that every product is of consistent, high quality.

A fixed part of this quality control is the organoleptic assessment: color, smell, taste and texture are assessed by trained specialists. This assessment is essential for acceptance by the animal and for guaranteeing our product quality.

Our laboratories are also an indispensable link in our Research & Development. Here we conduct extensive research into new raw materials, feeds and innovative feed programs. This enables us to continue to respond to changing market demand, nutritional trends and the needs of our customers.

Our laboratories also play an important role in monitoring the health and welfare of calves through daily analysis. This process provides valuable insights that enable us to continuously optimize nutrition and welfare.
