About Jefo
Precision Intestinal Nutrition® for a Healthier Tomorrow
Pioneering for animal health, performance, and sustainability.
Since 1982, Jefo has been designing solutions to meet the needs of the animal industry, driven by a forerunner’s vision. By closely monitoring our customers’ challenges and results, our team is continuously improving the efficiency and reliability of our solutions to redefine the boundaries of animal nutrition. Jefo introduced the Jefo Matrix Technology®, a groundbreaking protective technology that maximizes the efficiency of feed ingredients, which is now essential for today’s peak animal nutrition.
Revolutionary technology is always something more than what it was initially intended for. For us, it was the source of new inspiration and ideas that lies behind the high performance of our current solutions. Perhaps, more undiscovered nutrient associations might allow impressive findings, better performances and a more sustainable agriculture.
The constant desire to be ahead of one’s time is something that comes from within. It is that spirit that animates our company and enables us to sustain our commitment: Life, made easier®.
New solutions will emerge from our Applied Scientific Curiosity department, as we continue to redefine the boundaries of animal nutrition.
