Delacon Biotechnik GmbH
Since its beginning in 1988, Delacon has followed the vision of founder Helmut Dedl to pioneer a natural way to keep animal performing and healthy. He adamantly pursued alternatives for antibiotic and synthetical growth promotors that would ensure sustainable, profitable livestock production and food safety. With investment in research and development of plant-based animal feed additives, Delacon started to replace belief with fundamental knowledge. For this new and, up to this point, unknown category of feed additives, Delacon created its own market and coined the term `phytogenic feed additives. As the market segment rapidly expands, Delacon continues to be the global market leader.

About Us
Delacon, 30 years later
… the pioneer and market leader in phytogenic feed additives
Phytogenic feed additives are in a prime position to meet animal feeding challenges of today and tomorrow. What started as a niche market has grown into a market of global importance as animal agriculture responds to a public call for the responsible use of antibiotics, sustainable livestock production and consumer transparency. As the market segment rapidly expands, Delacon continues to be the global market leader.
From our standardized and modern production facility in Steyregg, Austria, we currently export our products to more than 80 countries worldwide. Delacon has a global team of more than 100 employees at 19 locations and cooperates with distribution partners around the world.
We are pioneering animal nutrition. Therefore, we are never satisfied with the status quo and are consistently working to further expand our global leadership in market presence as well as product development. How are these efforts visible? We are leading the conversations about phytogenics along the entire feed-to-food chain. Besides being in touch with distributors, feed manufacturers and producers, we are engaging with a relatively new group of stakeholders within this field – consumers.
Moreover, we are continually investing in research and development – 10 percent of our turnover each year. Thirty years of pioneering work and persistence have paid off: Delacon is the first and only company with two zootechnical registrations for phytogenic feed additives. This authorization proves the efficacy as well as safety of our products, regarded as the gold standard in the industry.
Living the Vision by Shared Values
Excellence meets innovation and sustainability
As pioneers and market leaders, we continuously strive to be one step ahead. We have faced various challenges along our way, but always have been driven by one mission:
Boosting the efficiency of animal nutrition, improving animal health and food safety, while at the same time minimizing environmental impact, through the power of nature.
Our mission clarifies the primary purpose of the company. But to know how we act and what is decisive for our behavior requires a closer look at Delacon’s values: our understanding of the slogan ‘performing nature’ and the key drivers of our daily work.
Excellence
High quality is our commitment in all aspects of our business. We exclusively use state-of-the-art technologies run by highly skilled experts. At Delacon, we always ensure that our products are sustainable, safe and effective.
Innovation
For us, R & D is one of the most important factors for our company’s future success. It is our untiring effort to explore and unlock the vast potential that nature has to offer that makes us a global leader in phytogenic feed additives.
Sustainability
We work continuously to utilize the full potential of effective natural substances to make livestock farming/production more sustainable and profitable and to deliver safe products to end consumers. Our corporate culture is based on stability and trust as well as long-term partnerships to support our mutual, sustained success.
