Voermol Feeds, the undisputed leader in the molasses-based animal feed industry in Africa is committed to:

  • Developing and maintaining solid, long-term relationships with farmers, agricultural companies and suppliers

Background

Voermol’s proud history of innovation and growth started in 1958 with a vision that animal feeds could be manufactured from molasses and bagasse, both by-products of the Tongaat Sugar Mill which is situated next to Voermol Feeds at Maidstone, KwaZulu-Natal. At the end of January 1962, the first bags of Voermol Meal came off the production line and Voermol became the first company in Africa and possibly the world, to successfully commercialise a combination of molasses and bagasse, thus converting molasses from a difficult to handle product into one which can be conveniently fed alone or mixed into other feeds.

Voermol Products include:

  • Energy Feeds
  • Production Licks
  • Protein Licks
  • Concentrates
  • Liquid Feeds

These products are produced in the following sections/plants at the Voermol Feeds factory:

  • Supplementary Feeds Plant
  • Liquid Feeds Plant
  • Block Plant
  • Pellet Plant (Feedmill)
  • Moreland Feeds Meals and Pellet Plant.

Voermol’s Product Development Programme

Voermol’s Product Development Programme has always been research led. Voermol has a well equipped laboratory and ensures that products are evaluated and new feeding schemes developed on various farms for research purposes. Some of Voermol’s most noteworthy achievements in the animal Feed Market have been:

  • The introduction of Liquid Feeds in the early 1960’s
  • The use of dry season Maintenance Licks
  • The feeding of whole maize in Beef Fattening diets
  • A simple and fool-proof cafeteria system of fattening for Farm-Scale feedlots
  • The packaging of Liquid Feeds in containers as a ready-to-use Liquid Feed for grain enrichment
  • The development of our Beefmaker system which involves ad lib feeding of a Concentrate and enables the farmer to use his home-grown maize without any milling or mixing required
  • The introduction of Supplement Feeds to dry and wet season grazing in block form which are easy to handle, ready-to-use and supply a wide range of essential trace minerals
