Testimonial #1

“I was introduced to Kemin through my thesis project, ‘HEPPY markers – the establishment of health biomarkers in pigs and poultry’ which is in collaboration with the NAMES lab. During one of the sampling sessions, Natasja and Jeroen, both deeply devoted to the project, joined us to assist in sample collection. Following the sampling process, I had the opportunity to work alongside them in processing all the samples at the Kemin lab. As I walked through the facility, I couldn’t help but notice the impressive equipment and technology they had at their disposal – it was truly impressive. Engaging in conversation with Natasja and Jeroen about their career paths and future aspirations was enlightening. Their stories shed light on the company’s evolution, work culture and internal opportunities, sparking a genuine interest in me towards Kemin.

What truly distinguishes Kemin for me is their unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability, which keeps them capable of continuing to meet the increasing global demand for animal proteins. With my specialization in animal production sciences and food sciences, I am particularly drawn to their animal nutrition and health division. Participating in the HEPPY markers project only deepens my passion for animal health.”
