Four compelling reasons to choose Nukamel

ONE SPECIALISM

Nukamel specialises in one key area: the development and production of dairy nutritional solutions for the critically important first phase in the life of young animals. The (st)art of growing: that’s our motto.

PASSION

To us, nutrition for young animals is more than a field of expertise. It’s a passion. We relish being able to bring something different to the world of livestock farming, and we know where we’re heading.

PIONEER MENTALITY

Nukamel is a true pioneer in nutrition for young animals. Our solutions are developed today for the livestock farming of tomorrow and have already brought positive changes to farming over decades. We were the first company in the world to introduce milk replacer and nutritional emulsifier, and there are even more industry-first developments coming soon.

LONG TERM COOPERATION

Our approach is highly personal. Each customer and each of their animals is an individual with unique needs. We believe in growing long-term collaborations together with our partners.

Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM)

Milk – but not as you know it 

Milk contributes to the survival and fitness of newborns. MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane), a lipid-containing component of cow’s milk, is essentially contributing to neonatal health. Elaborative research, done by Nukamel, converts these benefits of MFGM into clear economical gains in young animal nutrition.

Nutritional knowledge

R&D

Growth through research

Nukamel has been putting science into products for nearly 70 years. Through our scientific research, we can provide feed mills and farmers with dairy-based nutritional solutions and services that meet the unique needs of young animals.

Optimising animal nutrition at an early stage truly has a lifelong impact. As the genetics of animals advance through development, so do their nutritional needs. While our products help the animals to achieve their full genetical potential, they also enable farmers to improve the efficiency of their production and reduce the environmental impact.

Focus on nutritional value

Milk and dairy products are naturally rich sources of a wide range of essential nutrients, growth factors and bioactive components that all young animals need.

As a dairy specialist, Nukamel selects only top-quality sources. This selection is made based on our profound scientific understanding of the entire dairy production process.

We know that heat treatment of milk components lowers their nutritional value and can destroy their health benefits. We are committed to using only fresh, high-quality, low heat-treated ingredients that are rich in bioactive components.

Whether it concerns small steps in the optimisation of our current solutions or huge leaps into the future using our brightest imagination, both are fascinating to contribute to.
