What DanVit A/S does
DanVit A/S is a Danish feed solutions company founded in 2010 that specializes in pig nutrition, serving pig farmers across Denmark and selected international markets including Serbia, Poland, and Spain. Its product portfolio centers on the DanWean line, comprising prestarter feeds (Debut, Primo, Modus, Ultimo, Bonus) for piglets from 3-15 kg and milk replacement powders (LuxMilk Pro, MaxiMilk Pro, CupMilk Pro, FeedMilk) for automated milk feeding systems in farrowing barns, complemented by feed supplements (DanKick Live, YoghurLac, DanCrons), protein sources (PiggySoy from Hamlet Protein, ProtaSoy), and customized feed minerals and concentrates for farmers with their own feed production. The company also offers VA SizeMatters, a patent-protected automated grinding profile monitoring system that continuously samples feed every 2,000 kg, alerts producers when milling structure drifts outside specification, and stores historical data.
The business operates on a sales-led, direct go-to-market model, with named specialists conducting on-farm consultancy visits to optimize feed mixes for individual customer conditions, supplemented by participation in international trade shows (FIGAN, AgroShow, Novosadski Sajam). Revenue is generated through one-time sales of feed materials and minerals, hardware-style sales of milk feeding systems and powder, and professional consultancy services, with all pricing handled via quote-based contact rather than public list pricing. Since October 2022, DanVit has been 51% owned by Vestjyllands Andel, a major Danish agricultural cooperative, which provides access to a modernized production facility, larger purchasing volumes, and synergies with VA's mineral factory in Hee, while DanVit maintains operational independence and brand identity. The company employs 6 people in Denmark (HQ in Herning) and 5 in Serbia, and its core differentiator is the combination of Danish pig-nutrition expertise, hands-on farm consultancy, and the proprietary VA SizeMatters monitoring technology.
