ANIMAL FEED

Juncao technology is a system that uses specially selected fast-growing grasses as a sustainable resource for agriculture, particularly in livestock and mushroom production

With the newly announced purchases, the total volume of planned feed raw material imports over the short term has exceeded 800,000 tonnes.

The goal is to develop microbial solutions that can optimise insect growth and productivity.

The facility will produce complete grind-mix bulk feed, primarily for swine and poultry farms, using local corn, soybean meal, and other ingredients.

The national feed and fodder ecosystem addresses longstanding gaps in Uganda’s livestock sector.

The initiative is expected to benefit approximately 1.43 million individuals nationwide, with at least 30% of participants being women.

Export approvals also covered fish feed and feed additives, alongside processed and frozen poultry products including quail, duck, pigeon, and turkey.

Zearalenone (ZEN) was detected in 62% of global samples, making it one of the most prevalent mycotoxins in feed ingredients and complete feeds.

Veramaris stood out to the jury for its innovative approach to sustainable feed production.

The project will generate significant employment opportunities, reduce farmer-herder conflicts, and increase access to nutrient-rich feed.
