Innovative animal feed processing

The animal feed industry is on the brink of significant changes. Environmental responsibility, more efficient use of raw materials, and technological advances are increasingly determining the course. At Van Tuijl Feed Enrichment, we actively respond to these developments as an animal feed producer. For over sixty years, we have been supplying high-quality ingredients for young animal feed and pet food, combining craftsmanship with innovative animal feed processing. Our ambition? To create animal feed solutions that contribute to healthy animals and a sustainable future.

Responsible raw materials as the foundation

Our raw materials are carefully selected based on nutritional value, processability, and origin. We produce extruded soybean meal, wheat meal, pea meal, and lupine meal as raw materials for high-quality animal feed products. Additionally, we process dairy products such as milk powder and whey powder, which are ideal for young animals. Many of these ingredients come from Europe and, where possible, are sourced from by-products of the food industry. This not only ensures more efficient use of natural resources but also aligns with the goal of a circular economy.

Technology as a driver for efficiency and sustainability

Our production locations in Kesteren, Lienden, and Opheusden use advanced techniques such as breaking, drying, extruding, and grinding down to 50 microns to process raw materials optimally. This results in products with high digestibility and nutritional value, essential for young animals like piglets and calves. We also utilize combined heat and power to reuse waste heat from production processes, for example, to heat our headquarters.

Services that match practical needs

At Van Tuijl, we offer more than just high-quality raw materials. Our services focus on maximum flexibility and customer orientation. We provide custom mixing, extruding, grinding, pelletizing, sieving, drying, and packaging. Customers can choose from various packaging sizes – from 10 kg bags to 1,200 kg big bags – tailored to their production process.

Our mixing services are often used to create specific feed formulations for young animal feed or pet food. By working closely with customers, we can precisely respond to their nutritional and technical needs. Whether it’s a homogeneous formulation, a special pellet structure, or improving feed intake efficiency, our expertise translates into tangible results on the farm or in the customer’s factory.

Responsible business in practice

Sustainability at Van Tuijl is not a separate project but is woven into every aspect of our operations. Every year, we generate over 2,700 MWh of electricity with more than 7,500 solar panels, supplying a significant part of our production’s energy needs. At the same time, we significantly reduce our CO₂ emissions.

In terms of raw material processing, we continuously seek ways to reduce waste. By processing by-products from the food industry into high-quality animal feed components, we contribute to more efficient use of food raw materials within Europe.
