Avril intervenes at all levels in livestock sectors.
The first level is feeds for animals. The starting point for these feeds is the oilseed meals that are the solid component of oilseeds (rapeseed, sunflower) that remains after oil extraction. These protein-rich meals are then ground and mixed with other ingredients (protein grains such as pea or linseed, cereals, vitamins, etc.) to ensure that the feeds have optimum nutritional and can therefore respond to the specific needs of livestock (pigs, cattle, poultry or rabbits).
Performance, innovation, advice, differentiation by quality, etc. The Animal Nutrition branch of the Animal Nutrition & Processing Business Line provides local support for livestock farmers so that they can better respond to consumer demands.
Within the Animal Specialties Business Line, Avril develops products and services to ensure the hygiene of buildings and animals and the treatment of water, air and surfaces, according to the principles of biosecurity. The aim is to encourage rational medication by developing preventive hygiene methods.
As well as animal nutrition, Avril’s scope extends to all types of livestock expertise, including the production and sale of nutritional specialties that can serve the competitiveness and quality of animal production in France and internationally.
