Josera Tierernährung

YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION 2008 | KLEINHEUBACH/GERMANY

Josera has been producing mineral feed and other products for productive livestock since 1941. Since 1998 they also produce feeds for dogs, cats and horses and sell them in over 30 countries. As a family owned company with 200 employees, Josera sets great store by entrepreneurial responsibility. The best examples are products like the first milk replacer without skimmed milk powder or the renunciation of in-feed antibiotics 20 years before the legal ban on their use was first issued. Josera strives for sustainability also in production and logistics – they use “green” electricity and have their own rail connection to the railway network.
