General

High quality nutrition is a primary requirement for healthy farm animals in excellent condition with optimal production levels. The supply of energy and nutrients via the diet must be balanced with the animal’s feeding requirements. Feed evaluation systems aim to enable achieving this balance. PDV (the Dutch Productschap Diervoeder; Product Board Animal Feed) considers encouraging optimal feeding of farm animals one of its responsibilities and therefore invests in knowledge development in this field. The products are published under the brand name ‘CVB’.
