The Feedlot
The Vanduzi feedlot is a critical element of our vertically integrated business model, allowing us to finish our animals for slaughter and provide the optimum animal size and quality for the very best cuts.
The feedlot sources animals either from our own farms, or from approved local producers through our sophisticated buying network. Through well-developed relationships with our cattle suppliers we are able to consistently source high quality animals, which results in top quality beef.
Animals typically enter the feedlot at 18 to 20 months old and remain for a further three months. Throughout their stay, their feed is carefully controlled to produce the perfect meat to fat content in our finished products. The utmost care is taken in preparing our cattle feed, the quality of which contributes significantly to the quality of our final products. All our feed is produced on Vanduzi itself, or sourced from reliable and trusted local suppliers. This includes bran sourced from DECA Limitada, a related company in the Mozbife group.
The health of our animals is critical to the quality of our meat. Animals are tagged when they enter the feedlot and are tracked throughout the duration of their stay from this point up until slaughter. The information gained allows us to ensure the animals are both disease and stress free, key contributors to high quality products.
Transport & Distribution
To ensure that our products reach our customers on time and with the quality expected of us, we have our own fleet of refrigerated distribution vehicles which range from 2.5 to 30 tonne capacity. Depending on volumes and customer requirements, we can deliver directly to your site from the abattoir or butcheries.
Alternatively, we can prepare and package the products on site, ready for the customer to collect. Our fleet is fully maintained and serviced in house, ensuring our vehicles’ reliability and distribution capabilities.
Retail Outlets
In order to bring our products directly to end customers across Mozambique, we have an expanding network of butchery and other retail units in Chimoio, Beira, Tete, Manica and Moatize.
We are also finalising our new site in Nampula to service Northern Mozambique, which we expect to open in early 2015.
Our butcheries in Chimoio, Tete and Beira provide customers with access to high quality, fresh beef products, either pre-cut and packaged, or cut to your specification while you wait. These premier outlets showcase our products and provide an insight into the quality of what we do.
In addition to the butcheries, we have smaller retail units in Manica and Moatize which currently sell pre packed frozen beef products. Customers can also pre-order fresh products at these outlets for delivery on specified dates.
