Daybreak Foods joins South Africa’s Animal Feed Manufacturers Association  

SOUTH AFRICA – Daybreak Foods, a prominent South African poultry and eggs producer, has officially joined the Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA), marking a significant step in its commitment to excellence and innovation in the animal feed sector. 

This move underscores the company’s dedication to maintaining high standards in animal feed production, aligning it with other key industry players.

Daybreak Foods CEO Richard Manzini announced the membership, which represents more than just an operational milestone for the company. 

“As we join the AFMA community, I’m reminded that our journey is not just about producing exceptional animal feed but also about being part of a larger movement that prioritises quality, innovation, and sustainability,” said Mr Richard Manzini, CEO of Daybreak Foods.

He emphasised that joining AFMA enhances Daybreak’s role in advancing best practices within the industry, positioning the company as a leader in quality and innovation.

Under Manzini’s leadership, Daybreak Foods has radically transformed over the past year. The company, which previously faced significant challenges such as Avian Influenza outbreaks, rising feed costs, and the adverse effects of frequent load shedding, has successfully navigated these hurdles. 

Manzini has stabilised operations through strategic initiatives, attracted top talent, and restored critical customer relationships. 

These efforts have not only bolstered the company’s reputation within the industry but also preserved over 3,300 jobs during a challenging economic period, regaining the trust of stakeholders.

Daybreak Foods’ inclusion in AFMA solidifies its commitment to upholding the highest standards in animal feed production.

The company looks forward to collaborating with fellow industry leaders, staying informed about best practices, and contributing to the sector’s growth and development.

As a full member of AFMA, Daybreak Foods is poised to play a significant role in driving excellence in the feed industry, pushing boundaries, and setting new standards for quality and innovation.

“We’re proud to stand alongside like-minded organisations in AFMA,” said Manzini, “and we look forward to making a meaningful impact together.”

This move emphasises the company’s dedication to maintaining high standards in animal feed production and other products. 

The company’s inclusion in the association reflects its ongoing commitment to excellence and quality in the sector, positioning it alongside other key players in the industry.
