Jefo Nutrition

Jefo Nutrition is a Canadian animal nutrition company headquartered in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. Founded in 1982, the company designs and markets nutritional solutions aimed at improving animal health, performance, and sustainability across a range of species. Its core proposition is "Precision Intestinal Nutrition®," a concept that focuses on delivering nutrients precisely where they are most effective in the digestive tract to improve feed efficiency and support animal health. The company's proprietary Jefo Matrix Technology® is a microencapsulation platform that delivers active ingredients in a triglyceride matrix. According to Jefo, this technology protects nutrients from degradation and releases them in a targeted manner within the digestive tract, thereby optimizing nutrient absorption and reducing the nutrients available to harmful bacteria. This technology underpins many of Jefo's product lines. Jefo serves multiple animal species, including dairy and beef cattle, poultry, swine, aquaculture, equine, pets, and rabbits. Its solutions are marketed to livestock producers and feed industry customers, with a focus on improving milk yield, feed conversion, gut health, growth rates, reproductive performance, and disease resistance. The company emphasizes that its products are backed by extensive research and field trials. Jefo positions itself as an innovator in animal nutrition, driven by a vision of "A Healthier Circle of Life, on a More Sustainable Planet" and a mission to "Envision, Develop and Share, the Next Era of Precision Intestinal Nutrition®." The company operates internationally, with a website that supports country-specific content. Its values include agility, engagement, and ingenuity. Jefo remains a private company and continues to develop new solutions through its Applied Scientific Curiosity department.

From its inception, the company focused on the animal nutrition industry, driven by a vision to pioneer solutions that address the evolving needs of animal producers. The company's early work centered on developing nutritional strategies that improve animal health and performance. A major milestone in Jefo's history was the introduction of Jefo Matrix Technology®, a proprietary microencapsulation technology that delivers active ingredients in a triglyceride matrix.
