All domestic animals need a balanced diet that includes energy, proteins, fiber, minerals, trace elements and vitamins. At all Atria farms feeding is based upon home-grown feed (grain, grass, peas and beans).

Home-grown feed is analysed and then supplemented with the necessary proteins (pea, broad bean and ProTerra soya), minerals, micronutrients and vitamins. Atria’s subsidiary A-Rehu is an animal feed company that produces these supplements.

Own feed production offers Atria substantial benefits:

• Own feed recipes
• Raw material traceability
• An opportunity to provide farmers with guidance surrounding feeding, feeding systems and the whole production management
• Multiple food industry by-products from the dairy, baking and brewing industries are made use of
• Reducing the use of soya
