Suomen Rehu has been able to reduce the amount of added phosphorus by almost 700 t/a in poultry and pig diets between 1995 and 1997. This enables the reduction of the phosphorus content of manure by 30 percent, which in turn promotes environmentally compatible livestock production and enables farmers to increase the number of animals they keep. 

ISO-VnJA technology, developed by Suomen Rehu, is a commercial quality and environmentally oriented cultivation concept. Targeted nutritional content and feeding value, controlled quality with respect to product hygiene and residues, and traceability from cultivation to transportation and the feed factory are the most significant features of ISO-VILJA technology. 

ISO-VILJA is used by Suomen Rehu to enhance the quality of raw materials used for feed manufacturing. A transparent, documented quality chain for animal production and livestock-based foodstuffe is employed. 

Suomen Rehu received ISO 14001 certification in 1996. Value network thinking and supplier auditing have been promoted. Improvements have also been made to feeding management systems, and ISO-VTLJA technology has been introduced.
