The proposed venture will combine three manufacturing sites to strengthen regional supply of feed-grade amino acids.

Trouw Nutrition has introduced a new operating model for Ireland as it shifts manufacturing away from Belfast.

The acquisition adds around 70 companion animal health brands and an established veterinary network to Zenex’s growing animal healthcare platform in India.

The cohort brings together insect biotechnology, fermentation and side-stream valorisation as alternative routes to proteins, fats and other pet nutrition ingredients.

The new facility will give Skretting a dedicated platform to validate feed innovations across fish and shrimp production.

The three-year programme will target hard-to-reach dog populations, strengthen rabies surveillance and expand veterinary training to support Thailand’s national elimination efforts.

The potential deal comes as European chemical producers face weak demand and high costs, increasing pressure to consolidate and find operational savings.

Rising raw-material costs are squeezing feed mill margins and forcing farmers to cut production.

The facility will produce up to 500,000 tonnes of pet food annually, with 95% of output exported to nearly 50 countries.

The brand is also seeking to strengthen its local market presence as its distribution network expands, allowing farmers to access its animal nutrition products through local markets.
