Where Innovation Meets Practice

At Joosten, we believe the best animal feeds are created by combining knowledge, research, and real-life results. That is why we have an Application Farm, a specialised farm where we extensively test and validate our feeds under practical conditions.

What is an Application Farm?

Our Application Farm is a selected partner farm where we:

  • Test feeds for performance and animal health
  • We closely measure the effects on growth, feed intake, feed conversion, vitality, and overall health.
  • Validate new concepts; before launching any new feed or concept, we thoroughly test it in real-life conditions to guarantee proven results.
  • Collaborate with innovative farmers, we work with a forward-thinking farmer who embrace innovation and is eager to achieve better results together.

Why is this important?

Through our Application Farm, we can:

Translate science into practice

Our nutritionists and specialists use data from the farms daily to further optimise our feeds.

Offer certainty to our customers

Every product we supply has been thoroughly tested in the field, not just proven on paper.

Stay ahead in innovation

The insights from our Application Farms give us – and our customers – a competitive edge in performance, animal health, and sustainability.

Our commitment

At Joosten, we stand for practical innovation. With our Application Farm, we develop feeds that are:

  • Scientifically supported
  • Designed to drive customer success
  • Practically proven

 

 

Application Farm - Janssen Varkens Castenray

In 2014 I got in contact with Joosten as they were looking for a commercial swine farm to perform practical trials to test their products. Over the years, numerous animal trials have been executed here on the farm with lactating sows and weaned piglets with the main focus on palatability and digestibility of Joosten products. We are proud to see the development of these products as our farm also grow with better animals, facilities and knowledge.
