Innovation in Sud Champagne: Recognition for integrated animal health and feed management

Published the 08/10/20 | Territorial life

Multifolia and Soufflet Nutrition combine their expertise to offer Multifolia Sainfoin to farmers in Aube now.

Multifolia, established in 2008 by an Aube farmer collective, carries within the Sainfoin division the expertise and the scientific innovation of the plant. With more than twelve years of academic research in France and Europe, and numerous partnerships with scientific institutions, Multifolia views sainfoin as a concentration of virtues. In animal and plant nutrition and health, Multifolia develops and markets products from its research, notably Vitifolia, Equifolia, and Bovifolia, addressing economic, sanitary, and environmental challenges.

SOUFFLET Agriculture (SOUFFLET Nutrition) now offers, in partnership with MULTIFOLIA, to integrate the benefits of sainfoin for feeding ruminants. This partnership is based on the pooling of expertise from the two entities: MULTIFOLIA, the sainfoin innovation expert, and SOUFFLET nutrition, the animal nutrition expert.

This partnership addresses the challenges of tomorrow’s agriculture with a plant that offers multiple benefits. Multifolia sainfoin is available in the form of dehydrated pellets capable of concentrating all the plant’s benefits. Its specific nutritional profile and intrinsic properties contribute to improving protein efficiency, reducing parasitic pressure, and leading to better immunity for animals.

From an economic perspective, Multifolia sainfoin, produced locally, is priced independently of the volatility of raw materials. Being produced locally, it enables farms to more easily address the challenges of forage and protein autonomy.

A Complete Local Offering

Exclusively in Aube, SOUFFLET incorporates locally produced Multifolia sainfoin into the mash formula compositions of its offer. The mash formulas also include animal nutrition products from pulps, cereals, alfalfas, and co-products of cereal processing activities for complete feeds. The production of the feeds is carried out in Nogent-Sur-Seine and is delivered directly to farmers with respect for traceability and good practices. SOUFFLET Nutrition also offers local farmers support in services and advice on animal nutrition (feeding programs) as well as custom formulations.
