who we are

About Us

At Westside, we pay careful attention to our product selection to ensure that we continually bring the best products to the animal feed industry and add value to the end user. We source the latest animal feed additives that are supported by scientific research and backed by Selko, an internationally respected supplier and a division within Nutreco. Nutreco is a global leader in animal nutrition and aquafeed and its advanced nutritional solutions are at the origin of food for millions of consumers worldwide.

Westside serves as the sole, independent distributor of Selko’s sophisticated, business-to-business* micro animal feed additives that are typically supplied to the commercial animal feed producers and large integrators in Southern Africa. The micro-additives are then supplied to these users via the premixing industry where they are carefully blended into a premix together with other additives. In addition to our product offering and technical support, we have an independent consulting service that helps us to provide in-depth technical support to our customers. 

*Selko also has business-to-farmer products that have been pre-blended for ease of use on-farm by the end-user. Westside does not serve this market

Westside is appointed and is the sole and only distributor of these products to the Southern African market.

We currently serve as the sole distributor of the following Selko product ranges in Southern Africa:

new generation of hydroxy trace minerals

which supports several metabolic processes including osmoregulation and is an efficient methyl donor

natural polyphenol-based blends which can be used as anti-oxidants in feeds

an organic selenium which is a specific inactivated whole cell yeast product containing the essential trace element selenium in its natural food form – selenomethionine

a revolutionary phytogenic solution consisting of naturally extracted novel plant based functional ingredients
