Purchase of raw materials
4 essential criteria: competitive price, quality, availability and logistics
Animal nutrition
Mastery, reliability and traceability of the production of our feed are major assets for production structures working under official quality signs. In this context, the Group takes into account the development, provision of food programs and the upgrading of raw materials in the regions where it is located.
A global approach and an extensive experience of the animal nutrition chain
The Animal nutrition activity was associated very early on with the development of the production of Label Rouge and Landes Liberté chickens, and also with the production of foie gras palmipeds. Thus, it carefully selects the raw materials which are mainly coming from regional production. The food safety and traceability impose rigorous specifications to the suppliers.
Independent certifying agencies control more than 80% of the produced volumes:
Red Label, Landes Liberté, PGI South-West of France, organic farming production.
However, our teams’ skills are not limited to this: they also cover both a solid experience in the nutrition of beef cattle, dairy cows, goats, horses, pigs and sheeps (milk and meat), and games and ornamental birds.
The animal nutrition chain is structured around 5 business lines:
Research and innovation
Own research station and national partnership to anticipate future challenges
Formulation
Performance and competitiveness of our recipes
PRODUCTION
15 manufacturing sites in the South-West of France with dedicated sites in order to ensure our customers food security and perfect traceability for their farms
Marketing
Personalization of the advice with efficient feeding plans and breeding techniques for the benefit of the breeders.
