Coppens animal nutrition in Helmond, the Netherlands has improved its production process for pig and poultry feed. The feed produced with the new technique, named ‘Inno-Feed’ already showed promising results in fattening pigs.
Trials at experimental farms in cooperation with the Animal Sciences Group in Wageningen and Schothorst Feed Research showed an increased growth, improved skin health and better manure in pigs. It was also shown that the pigs have better intestinal health and a lower feed conversion rate. The feed was also tested at some farms.
In July and September, Coppens will introduce a new piglet and sow feed. Also the new fibre rich poultry feed will be launched in September this year.
