You will be able to see the premises and ask questions. It is a multifunctional research centre for modern, innovative and sustainable pig husbandry, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
At the same location, Gert Hemke, founder of Hemke Nutri Consult will give a practical presentation and consult about diet formulation and the best way to feed the animals. Gert is a person with drive and expertise in the fields of: Animal nutrition, Feed concentrates and feed additives, Production processes and quality control, Management on big scale farms and Sustainability (environment, welfare, efficiency) in chains.

The tours are organised in co-operation with AllAboutFeed’s sister publications Pig Progress and World Poultry. If you are more interested in pigs or poultry, we have different tours for these topics as well.
