MIAVIT’s home is Essen, Germany, and its firm roots in the Oldenburg Münsterland – a region strongly influenced by agriculture – are one part of the company’s success. Essen was the starting point for MIAVIT’s international expansion.

Miavit – more than just germany’s market leader in premix productionMIAVIT is a family-run international company whose history began at the cradle of livestock farming in northwest Germany.

More than 55 years ago, the veterinarian Dr H. W. Niemeyer started his business with one primary focus in mind: ‘Prevention instead of medication’ – a motto that still applies today!

The young company began producing premixes for the feed industry. It was clear that the basic prerequisite for a healthy, high-performing animal is an optimal supply of nutrition through its feed. Therefore, Dr Niemeyer began producing premixes in a small garage, with no idea of what his company would go on to become.

The name MIAVIT was created from the ingredients he used: Minerals, Amino acids and Vitamins.

Over time, the production of premixes for the compound feed industry became MIAVIT’s core business.

But today’s premix production is much more than just a simple process of mixing one or more additives with a carrier. It all begins with clearly defined, controlled purchasing logistics ensuring that the goods requested meet all the specifications, are of the best possible quality and arrive at the right time. MIAVIT is committed to only using high-quality raw materials from reliable, certified suppliers. The raw materials and final products are regularly tested by in-house laboratory services and certified external laboratories, as well as by the German monitoring authorities. For certain raw materials, lab analyses have to be carried out before production starts to ensure they meet quality standards or do not contain undesired substances. Nowadays, MIAVIT monitors almost 1000 raw materials using a barcode system. This guarantees traceability and avoids mixing mistakes, as only components with a barcode following the recipe are allowed to enter the mixing process. MIAVIT runs several separate production lines, each with its own individual purpose. This avoids the risk of cross-contamination and enables products to be mixed with specific characteristics (e.g. white mixtures, mixtures with an intensive smell, mixtures with or without coccidiostats, etc.).

State-of-the-art mixing facilities featuring carryover-free transporting systems avoid cross-contamination within the production line and guarantee an effective mixing process with the highest mixing accuracy available.

Sieves and metal detectors help ensure the structure and quality are consistent, before automatic bagging and palletising machines form the final product.

Behind all the technical processes, a motivated team of experts is needed first to define the composition and right dosage of the premix. But it is not just the nutritional requirements that have to be considered. Premixes also have to meet technical requirements and must meet high stability and flowability standards to be used in feed mills without causing any complications.

Years of experience have made MIAVIT a reliable, trusted partner for the feed industry in Europe. That’s why premixes from MIAVIT stand for the highest quality standards available.

MIAVIT’s home is Essen, Germany, and its firm roots in the Oldenburg Münsterland – a region strongly influenced by agriculture – are one part of the company’s success. Essen was the starting point for MIAVIT’s international sales activities into more than 90 countries worldwide.
