De Valk Wekerom

What De Valk Wekerom does

De Valk Wekerom is a Dutch animal feed manufacturer headquartered in Lunteren, operating within the Coöperatie ABZ U.A. cooperative network. The company supplies specialized feed for poultry (laying hens, broilers, turkeys, ducks), pigs (piglets, sows, finishing pigs), ruminants (dairy and beef cattle, goats, sheep), and horses via the Fibra sub-brand. Its portfolio is anchored by proprietary feeding concepts — Stabielo (laying hens), Dynamo (pigs), Actief (cattle programs across life stages: Melken, Droogstand, Junior, Ruwvoer), and Rumino (goats) — alongside supplementary products (Krusli, Biggenmuesli, FiberFit, VitaFit, VitaPorc, Optiwean, CalciFit, AS-Mix, Hittemix) and digital advisory tools including the FeedM collaboration platform, Fosfaatplanner, Vers gras monitor, Ruwvoerbalans, and Ureumwijzer.

The business combines direct enterprise field sales through six regional offices (Nijkerk headquarters, Eindhoven, Haastrecht, Lunteren, Markelo, Stroobos) staffed by sector-specialized advisors, with an online self-service ordering portal (Mijn ABZ Diervoeding). Customers — primarily Dutch livestock farmers, including member-owners — purchase compound feed, supplementary feed, raw materials, grain trading services (Boerengranen inkoop), and plant/cultivation services such as silage management and maize assessment. Pricing is variable based on formulation complexity, volume, and contract terms, with multi-year contract structures aligned to cooperative member status.

Revenue is generated primarily through feed product sales, raw materials trading, and ancillary agronomic services. Member-owned under a cooperative U.A. structure, the entity is governed via a Supervisory Board, Members' Council, and Youth Council. Product certifications including organic (bio), VLOG (Ohne Gentechnik), and Tesco supplier approval position the business within conventional and organic livestock value chains as well as UK-aligned retail procurement networks.

Direct peers

• ForFarmers: Dutch-headquartered feed cooperative (ForFarmers N.V.) and one of Europe's largest compound feed producers, with overlapping multi-species feed offerings (poultry, swine, ruminants) and a similar cooperative heritage. Directly comparable to ABZ in product scope, customer base, and go-to-market, but at materially greater scale.
• Royal Agrifirm Group: Dutch agricultural cooperative offering compound feed, premixes, and on-farm advisory across poultry, swine, and ruminants. Closely comparable to ABZ in cooperative structure, multi-species portfolio, and emphasis on member-farmer services in the Netherlands.
• De Heus Animal Nutrition: Dutch family-owned compound feed manufacturer with strong positions in poultry, swine, and ruminant feed across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Comparable to ABZ in core species focus and feed concept branding, though materially larger and internationally active.

Broad incumbents

• Trouw Nutrition (Nutreco): Global animal nutrition division of Nutreco, offering premixes, specialty feed, and digital farm management tools. Comparable to ABZ in species coverage and tool layer (FeedM analogues), but operates at global scale with much broader product depth.
• Cargill Animal Nutrition: Global ingredient and compound feed business with extensive European operations. Overlaps with ABZ in species coverage and advisory-led sales, but with vastly greater raw-material sourcing scale and product breadth across feed, premixes, and additives.
• ADM Animal Nutrition: Global agribusiness with a significant animal nutrition footprint in Europe, supplying compound feeds, premixes, and feed additives. Comparable to ABZ in species scope but competes primarily at the ingredient/premix layer rather than as a direct cooperative competitor.

Regional players

• Arvesta (Aveve Animal Nutrition): Belgian-headquartered agribusiness with compound feed and premix operations across poultry, swine, and cattle in Belgium and surrounding regions. Comparable to ABZ in species scope and cooperative-style farmer relationships, but with primary geographic focus on Belgium rather than the Netherlands.
• Dansk Landbrugs Grovvareselskab (DLG): Danish farmer-owned cooperative with compound feed, premixes, and farm advisory across Northern Europe. Comparable to ABZ in cooperative governance and species coverage, but operates primarily in Denmark and Scandinavia rather than the Netherlands.

Emerging players

• Volac International: Specialist feed manufacturer focused on young-animal nutrition and feed additives, with growing presence in European livestock markets. Comparable to ABZ at the product/concept level (life-stage feeding programs), though narrower in species breadth.

Others

• Lallemand Animal Nutrition: Global supplier of microbial-based feed additives and yeast derivatives used in livestock nutrition. Comparable to ABZ at the additive/concept layer (rumen health, gut health), but acts primarily as a supplier to feed mills like ABZ rather than as a direct competitor.
