Four compelling reasons to choose Nukamel
ONE SPECIALISM
Nukamel specialises in one key area: the development and production of dairy nutritional solutions for the critically important first phase in the life of young animals. The (st)art of growing: that’s our motto.
PASSION
To us, nutrition for young animals is more than a field of expertise. It’s a passion. We relish being able to bring something different to the world of livestock farming, and we know where we’re heading.
PIONEER MENTALITY
Nukamel is a true pioneer in nutrition for young animals. Our solutions are developed today for the livestock farming of tomorrow and have already brought positive changes to farming over decades.

Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM)
A unique and valuable dairy component for young animal feed
Nukamel is the first to include MFGM in feed solutions for young animals. Up until now, this valuable milk component was reserved for infant formulae.
What makes this ingredient, MFGM, so special? Read the white paper by Dr. Evi Croes to find out and see how its application could lead to significant beter results in calves, piglets and broilers.

Nutritional knowledge
Growth through research
Nukamel has been putting science into products for nearly 70 years. Through our scientific research, we can provide feed mills and farmers with dairy-based nutritional solutions and services that meet the unique needs of young animals.
Optimising animal nutrition at an early stage truly has a lifelong impact. As the genetics of animals advance through development, so do their nutritional needs. While our products help the animals to achieve their full genetical potential, they also enable farmers to improve the efficiency of their production and reduce the environmental impact.
Top-quality raw materials
Focus on nutritional value
Milk and dairy products are naturally rich sources of a wide range of essential nutrients, growth factors and bioactive components that all young animals need.
As a dairy specialist, Nukamel selects only top-quality sources. This selection is made based on our profound scientific understanding of the entire dairy production process.
We know that heat treatment of milk components lowers their nutritional value and can destroy their health benefits. We are committed to using only fresh, high-quality, low heat-treated ingredients that are rich in bioactive components.
Our experts, have the nutritional knowledge
