June 19 - 26, 2020

Epol’s wide range of broiler feeds caters for all producers, from the smallest-scale beginner to the largest commercial business, enabling every operation to achieve target weights and maximise profit.

Feed For Every Broiler Farmer

Epol has more than a century of research and development in animal feed and continues to be at the forefront of scientific nutritional progress. Today, the company offers a wide range of broiler feed solutions, as well as expert technical advice and guidance, for every broiler producer.

A highly skilled team of animal nutritionists oversees focused research, data analysis, matrix development, and least-cost formulation, all resulting in the development of world-class nutritional solutions.

Nutritionists based at each Epol feed mill ensure quality assurance, adherence to standardized procedures, and technical support across all regions.

Epol products and processes are ISO-certified to ensure top quality and feed safety, and its experts stay abreast of the genetic progress of all major broiler breeds and their nutritional requirements. Raw material suppliers are selected according to the strictest criteria, and raw material intake protocols designed with extreme care.

In addition, Epol works in close collaboration with Rainbow Chicken, an allied RCL Foods business unit, to monitor the on-farm performance of newly employed nutritional interventions.
