Today’s challenges in animal husbandry are caused by an ever increasing demand for meat and dairy products despite escalating raw materials costs and accompanying environmental problems by livestock waste-products. More than 25 years ago Helmut Dedl recognized these arising challenges and discovered the potential and efficacy of plant-derived natural substances, “Phytogenics”.
In 1988 Mr. Dedl founded DELACON Biotechnik GmbH and started to research on essential oils, herbs and spices with the target to offer sustainable solutions for livestock production. Since its beginning, and despite logistic challenges, the production site and the head quarter (HQ) are both located separately in Steyregg/Austria, featuring outstanding technical and quality guidelines. Its global affinity and the vision to make the world “greener” rapidly lifted DELACON to become world leader in phytogenic feed additives. With the success in more than 45 countries worldwide, and in order to meet the increasing demand for feed additives, DELACON invested heavily into its production extension, thereby multiplying its output by three in just one step. This recent extension offered a unique occasion to assemble more than 200 guests, including customers, distributors and employees of DELACON to inaugurate the new production plant in Steyregg.
DELACON is constantly reaffirming and developing its leadership position in order to provide the world sustainable solutions for a greener livestock production- for healthy, environmentally friendly food. DELACON develops and provides effective solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of livestock farming with the use of natural feed whilst taking over social responsibility for consumers and the environment alike. Today, DELACON is able to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by around 5% and even up to 50% concerning the reduction in ammonia emissions.
