Karen Phelps Kemin Industries is an integral partner in New Zealand’s farming landscape, working alongside all major feed manufacturers and producers to enhance safety, quality and efficiency across the animal feed sector. Trina Parker, Country President for Kemin Australia and New Zealand ,says Kemin helps nutritionists, veterinarians and farmers raise healthier, more productive livestock. “As the world population continues to expand and the demand for protein soars, food producers are turning to Kemin for innovative solutions. We believe raising healthy livestock is more important now than ever before,” she says. Operating across six continents and producing over 500 specialty ingredients for customers in more than 120 countries, Kemin focuses on eight key business areas to help producers maximise efficiency and profitability. The company’s expertise mainly spans pork, poultry, egg, dairy and beef production, as well as the petfood and aquaculture sectors. Together with New Zealand Sales Manager Michael Stobart, Trina says that Kemin provides solutions that enable feed producers and farmers to extract maximum value from feed ingredients. “Feed and raw materials remain under constant cost pressure, which can add significant expense to animal production,” says Trina. “By improving bioavailability and operational efficiency, feed producers can make meaningful gains in both performance and sustainability.” With rising power costs and tighter production margins, she says feed milling efficiency has also become increasingly critical. Kemin’s surfactant technology helps mills increase throughput and helps to reduce dust at blending sites, delivering both health and safety benefits for workers and improved feed quality for animals. The company’s product range also includes gut health additives that support a healthy animal microbiome, mould inhibitors, mycotoxin binders to reduce contamination risks and feed safety products that target salmonella, which is one of the most significant threats to feed hygiene. Mineral nutrition supplements promote animal well-being and production efficiency, while rumen-protected amino acids enhance feed utilisation in dairy operations. In addition to its product portfolio, Kemin provides comprehensive technical and analytical support.
