POULTRYINDONESIA, Jakarta – De Heus Animal Nutrition has officially completed the acquisition of CJ Feed & Care from CJ CheilJedang. This move marks one of De Heus’s largest expansions in the Asian region. In total, the acquisition involves 17 feed mills and a network of livestock operations spread across various parts of Asia.
