FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed
Nutrition for infants, but in this case for young calves, piglets or lambs, is FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed’s field of expertise. A considerable number of young animals have been raised on the high quality feed produced by FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed.
FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of nutrition for young animals. The products are fed to young animals in some fifty countries in Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America, Oceania and South East Asia.
FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed receives huge amounts of raw materials from other divisions of FrieslandCampina from which they extract ingredients for use in products. However, these raw materials still contain valuable protein and lactose components. FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed uses these residual ingredients to make feed for young animals. That starts with drying the whey in spray dry towers, where liquids are converted into powder. These towers are located at Friesland Campina plants in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The powders are then transported to the mixing room. This is where FrieslandCampina Dairy Feed manufactures high quality tailor-made feed by adding vitamins, minerals, proteins, vegetable fats and other nutrients young animals need to give them a healthy start in life. But composition is not the only aspect, taste is important too as young animals should enjoy their feed.
