Wilhelm Schaumann develops the innovative company concept:
Home-produced feedingstuffs supplemented with SCHAUMANN-products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1938

• Establishment of the company

 

1948

• PHOSPHORAL – first feed-stuff for piglets
• • Establishment of DURAG-Industrieelektronik

The company acquires the Huelsenberg estate and turns it into an experimental station. At that time universities had insufficient animal housing capacity and animal numbers to make available for field trials. SCHAUMANN is now able to link together production and research and success follows quickly.

 

 

 

 

1950

• First edition of the journal “Tierernährung”, which was the forerunner of “Erfolg im Stall”

1953

• Acquisition of Gut Huelsenberg, which will become more and more the SCHAUMANN research center HUELSENBERG

 

1959

•  Beginning of SCHAUMANN consulting service

SCHAUMANN achieves substantial increases in milk yield by introducing the first cubicle shed for cows and crossing Holstein-Friesians with German Friesians (Schwarzbunte). In the years to follow SCHAUMANN participates in the development of caesarean delivery of SPF piglets and artificial insemination to establish the Huelsenberg Breeding Pig programme. The “Huelsenberger Gespraeche”, an interdisciplinary scientific workshop on progress in livestock production, is held for the first time. The H. Wilhelm Schaumann Foundation is established. Farmers will now recognize the SCHAUMANN colors and the SCHAUMANN-Logo. With „Erfolg im Stall“, SCHAUMANNS inhouse customer magazine, customers will get current information at regular intervals.
