Activities

Improvement of zootechnical performances

TECHNA AFRIQUE CENTRALE ET OUEST provides its clients with expertise in zootechnics and nutrition for all species: poultry, swine, ruminant, rabbit and aquaculture species. Its teams, composed of agro engineers, technicians and veterinarians, are able to find an appropriate answer to all the breeding issues occurring on farms. Our aim is to support our clients through multiple services: farm visits, advice, training. TECHNA AFRIQUE CENTRALE ET OUEST also offers products and services that improve zootechnical performance, thereby contributing to better farm profitability.

Reduction of the feed cost and improvement of feed efficiency

Our challenge is to support our clients - who are mostly feed millers - to improve the profitability of their production tool. Through our expertise in feed formulation, we offer formulae which are adapted to each production context in order to reduce the feed cost and to improve feed efficiency. We also help our clients in the selection of raw materials to incorporate in their finished feed by taking market prices into account.

Valorisation of local raw materials

TECHNA AFRIQUE CENTRALE ET OUEST also has a deep know-how in the selection and characterization of local raw materials which can be valorized in animal nutrition: cotton byproducts, peanut byproducts, etc... To do this, we use the combined teachings of a database of test results (stemming from TECHNA's laboratory), digestibility tests carried out at our Research Centre and field trials.

Technological and quality assistance

TECHNA AFRIQUE CENTRALE ET OUEST provides its customers with technological assistance during the feed production process and the implementation of quality control plans to ensure the quality compliance of the raw materials used as well as that of the finished feed. By doing so, TECHNA contributes to the lasting professionalisation of breeders and farmers.
