What Trouw Nutrition México does

Trouw Nutrition México, S.A. de C.V. is the Mexican operating subsidiary of Nutreco's Trouw Nutrition animal nutrition business, present in Mexico for 43 years and headquartered in Querétaro. The company sells a science-driven portfolio of nutritional specialties, premixes, concentrates, and feed additives for swine, poultry, dairy, beef, pet food, and commercial feed mills, distributed through a nationwide dealer network and direct enterprise field sales. Its core technology stack combines Nutreco's five global research centers and 12 commercial validation farms with proprietary platforms — NutriOpt (15+ digital services for feed analysis and diet optimization, including the MyNutriOpt portal and On-site Adviser portable scanner), Selko feed additives (IntelliBond hydroxychloride trace minerals, Fysal Fit-4 for Salmonella control, Selko-4Health for intestinal health), and species-specific programs including Milkiwean (piglet), ChickCare (0–4 day chick nutrition), and Sprayfo (LifeStart calf nutrition), supported by the Nutrace end-to-end feed safety and traceability program.

The company generates revenue across four streams: (1) animal feed specialties, premixes, and concentrates sold direct and through distributors; (2) feed additive sales under the Selko brand; (3) NutriOpt digital services with subscription/service-fee economics; and (4) customized integrated nutrition programs with on-farm technical specialists. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices. Customer segments span swine producers (primary), poultry producers (primary), dairy and beef producers (primary), commercial feed mills (secondary), and pet food manufacturers (secondary, growing). The company operates four regional offices (Monterrey, Querétaro, Cuernavaca, Tepatitlán) and inaugurated Planta Águila in Colón, Querétaro in February 2025 — a 1,000 million peso investment adding 100,000 tonnes/year of capacity across three production lines and representing the largest Trouw Nutrition investment in Mexico in 43 years.
