Duynie Feed specialise in the supply of animal feed. The products that Duynie Feed sell are often referred to as co-products, but what exactly are co-products and what benefits can they bring to your livestock and how can they complement your farming system?

Why Co-Products 

Most commonly, co-products have plant-based origins. They originate from a wide variety of crops, including cereals, vegetables, and fruits. The primary crop is processed by the food manufacture, where they extract the nutrient they need. What is left is the co-product. This is not needed by the food manufacture. However, these co-products often have a high nutrient density, which makes them a perfect nutritional choice to include in many livestock rations. More than that, it means all the valuable nutrients from the crop are fully utilised!

What are co-products? 

Duynie's co-products contribute to both a sustainable and increased financial result for your business, combined with a positive contribution to circular agriculture. How?
Co-products almost always have a lower carbon footprint (CO2e) than other feed products. At times, co-product feeds actually have 0kg CO2e/kg DM. Zero carbon footprint to produce a nutritional feed! Duynie Feed work with their customers to ensure that the co-product feeds that are fed fit the business objectives of their customers. Always looking to find the best fit solution for each business they work with.

Sustainable results 

Co-products contain high-quality nutrients at competitive values in comparison to other available feeds. Feeding co-products enable farmers to realise a higher return over a longer period!
Apart from an attractive cost price, Duynie’s certified animal feed positively contributes to the performance of your livestock, may that be milk yield, milk quality, growth, health and more.

Higher return 

One major advantage of co-products is their palatability. Years of experience have taught us that this is an important reason why cattle and pig farmers opt for co-products. Animals enjoy co-products, which results in higher intake levels and therefore higher nutrient density in the diet. Including co-products in the diet can contribute towards:
<ul>
<li>Increased milk yield</li>
<li>Increased Daily Weight Gain (DLWG) and Feed Conversion (FC)</li>
<li>Improved animal health and fertility</li>
</ul>

Palatable 

Duynie's unique range of co-products make a positive contribution to circular, making it possible for each farmer to feed their livestock in a more sustainable way:
<ul>
<li>Nutrients from crops are fully utilised within the human food consumption as well as adding quality nutrition to animal feed</li>
<li>Co-products help to maximise the use of home-grown crops and forage because they are highly palatable, with a great aroma therefore enhancing the flavour of the total diet. The co-products act as 'cohesion' between the various elements of the ration, thereby preventing any selection during feeding</li>
<li>Co-products can even be used to form a anaerobic barrier when storing silage – using certain co-products for capping the silage instead of a plastic sheet</li>
</ul>

Contribution to circular agriculture 

Feeding your animals co-products can contribute to reducing the carbon footprint per litre of milk or kilo of meat because co-products have a lower carbon footprint than 'nutritionally comparable animal feed'.

Reduction of emissions 

Available all year round 
Co-products have a stable and sustainable nutrient density. The vast majority of co-products Duynie sell are consistently available and providing they are stored well their shelf life can increase substantially. 
All manufacturers involved in the production of Duynie’s high quality co-products are certified within the industry and undergo regular quality checks.
