NEWS 110 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2025 Reudink, part of ForFarmers N.V., announced the expansion of its production of organic animal feed by purchasing a compound feed factory in Fürstenau (Lower Saxony, Germany), currently owned by A.Ricke Agrar GmbH & Co. KG. This will allow Reudink to better serve its customers in that region, according to the announcement. The German market offers opportunities for further growth for Reudink and local production is an important prerequisite for this. The Fürstenau plant, built in 2019, currently produces 40kT of conventional animal feed. Currently, the plant is used to produce conventional laying hen feed. Reudink will convert the plant to organic and will have opportunities to use and expand the existing volume. In the second half of 2025, Reudink expects to produce and deliver the first organic feed in Fürstenau, after the entire plant has been prepared and certified for organic feed production. Reudink currently produces organic compound feed through contract production in Gescher (in North Rhine-Westphalia) and in Ichenhausen (in Bavaria). “We are seeing increasing market demand for organic feed in Germany,” explained Judith Hofland, Director of Reudink.

David Torres, Senior Technical Services Regional Manager at Novus, will share how feed additives can transform broiler nutrition and tackle feed challenges during his presentation called “More Nutrients Don’t Have to Cost More”. “We all know that feed is the highest cost for producers. Ensuring the nutrients in feed are accessible to animals is vital for capturing a positive return on investment,” Torres says. “During this presentation, we’ll talk about recent evidence on enhancing nutrient utilization in feed ingredients to impact the cost of production. I’ll also explain how shifts in soybean quality – which can vary widely – affect broiler performance.” David Torres will also explain how the age of a bird influences its nutrient digestion, and how producers, nutritionists and feed mills can unlock nutrients from feed through intelligent nutrition. “Where broiler production is concerned, globally, the industry is facing evolving feed and genetic challenges. Producers need to educate themselves on the available solutions to ensure cost-effective performance improvements and long-term sustainability,” Torres adds.
