Advanced Feed Package
SFR (Schothorst Feed Research) is an independent research company in farm animal nutrition (poultry, pigs and cattle). Core activity: raw material evaluation; determining nutrient values and degradation and digestion coefficients of feed raw materials. These data are delivered in the SFR matrix with corresponding animal specific nutrient requirements. SFR is the sparring partner for nutritionists and consultants. Our consultants assist in proper use and of the database, help to formulate feeds in local field conditions, recommend nutritional solutions for issues at your customers, and provide educational services and training for new colleagues.
Advanced Feed Package (AFP) customers are feed industries and integrators, mainly in Europe and Asia. They pay an annual contribution from which a combined budget of approximately €1.3 million is available for applied scientific animal feed research at our facilities in Lelystad. AFP customers contribute ideas for research. The actual research program is discussed and determined annually in cooperation with AFP customers who participate in the technical committees of each animal species. With the results we generate new knowledge and insights that are translated into updates of matrix values and animal standards so that customers can annually improve the price-quality ratio of their feeds.
