Pigs
Solutions for Piglets, Sows and Fatteners
Our nutritional approach to pig feed
For professional pig farming De Heus has developed a range of complete feeds which are designed to deliver the nutritional needs for your pigs at each specific growth phase. Piglet feeds are designed to develop the digestive system so they can take advantage of the high growth potential whilst ensuring a smooth weaning process and a healthy development. Piglets that grow older have different requirements related to both raw materials as well as to nutrients. Their reaction towards taste differences reduces, however they remain sensitive towards other changes in the feed. For example, changes in sources of crude fibers and the usage of acids the feed. Fattener feed is designed to deliver growth in the most efficient way, with the use of specific De Heus proprietary technologies which ensure the most efficient usage of raw materials and the highest digestibility, leading to predictable, consistent and uniform growth of your pigs.
