Feeds
Improving performance
Aside from promoting sustainability internally , Harpers Feeds encourages farmers to do the same through its range of soya and palm free feed . “ Within our Planet Range ,
we offer dairy , beef , sheep , pig , and poultry compounds and blends . Furthermore , we provide a comprehensive selection of dairy feeds designed to help reduce the carbon cost of dairy farming , as they are made with more environmentally friendly ingredients . Indeed , we have removed the ingredients most closely associated with high carbon emissions on farms and with the highest environmental consequences , such as soya products and palm oil products or derivatives . We have replaced these ingredients with high quality , domestically produced ingredients that all farmers are familiar with , namely protected rapeseed , sugar beet , field beans , wheat distillers and wheat feed . The Planet Range has been developed to deliver the best quality feeds for high-producing livestock , but with less environmental impact and lower food miles . In fact , it has been successfully fed on our farms since 2019 ,” Glen continues .
As we edge closer to the end of our conversation , Kynan unveils his vision for Harpers Feeds ’ future . “ Although our business has experienced considerable growth by feeding the animals that feed the UK , we would like to expand our horizons both at home and abroad . Nevertheless , seeing the next generation of the family starting to make their mark in the company is very satisfying to me . In five years , they too will have a say in our future aspirations ,” he ends . ■
