Netherlands · Group owned by privately held SHV
Nutreco is an international animal nutrition group headquartered in the Netherlands and owned by SHV, a privately held investment group. Its work brings together nutrition research, the manufacture of feeds and premixes, and services for farms and feed businesses. The group runs two main business lines: Trouw Nutrition, which focuses on livestock, and Skretting, which serves fish and shrimp production from its base in Stavanger, Norway.
The business model rests on specialist nutrition for each species and production system. Aquafeed, a premix for a feed mill and a product for young animals are built to very different specifications, so each business line works with its own products and technical support. Shared ownership brings know-how from livestock and aquaculture nutrition under one roof, while each customer is served with the specification and local technical advice that fit their animals.
Size of the business
Nutreco reports more than 11,000 employees and operations in over 40 countries.
Is Skretting independent of Nutreco?
No. Skretting is Nutreco's aquaculture business line, serving fish and shrimp production alongside Trouw Nutrition's livestock business.
Does a premix replace complete feed?
No. A premix plays a defined role within a feed formulation and works only when applied correctly. How an individual product is used depends on its own specification, not on the group name.
