Cehave focuses on innovation in animal feed and profitable growth in The Netherlands and elsewhere. The development of knowledge plays an important role in this respect. Based on years of experience, a practically oriented approach and consistent investments in research and development (R&D), Cehave has secured a leading position in respect of knowledge. This serves as an important basis for the business and as motivation to create better products, to develop more efficient production processes and to provide more focussed advice to livestock farmers. Those subjects in respect of which Cehave Landbouwbelang's 'knowledge basis' is explicitly evident are animal health, innovation, agrotechnical expertise, the knowledge and experience of its business consultants, its production process ingenuity and its patents for products and processes. |
