Al Dahra, a global leader in sustainable agribusiness, essential food commodities, and feed production headquartered in Abu Dhabi, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Abu Dhabi Equine and Camel Hospital (ADECH), the world’s first dual-species referral hospital for horses and camels, to establish a strategic partnership focused on feed, forage, and nutritional solutions for the equine and camel ecosystem. The collaboration also reinforces engagement between Abu Dhabi‑based companies and contributes to the emirate’s broader economic and innovation agenda.
Under the MoU, Al Dahra intends to act as a preferred supplier of feed and forage products to ADECH, while the two organisations explore broader collaboration across market development, customer engagement, and research and development. The partnership aims to support high standards of animal nutrition, performance, and welfare, while strengthening local ecosystem collaboration by drawing on Al Dahra’s feed expertise and ADECH’s world‑class veterinary capabilities.
Al Dahra’s feed and forage operations are underpinned by a globally integrated platform, sourcing approximately 2.5 million tonnes of feed annually through one of the world’s most extensive networks comprising strategic partners and processing facilities. This scale and diversification supports consistent quality, supply reliability, and product development for specialised animal nutrition requirements.
Signed at the recent Make it in the Emirates event, the agreement marks the start of a longer‑term collaboration focused on product development and innovation across the equine and camel sector.
Wissam Abbas, Managing Director at Al Dahra GCC, said: “This partnership reflects Al Dahra’s strategic focus on specialised high‑performance feed solutions, and aligns with Al Dahra’s growing focus on the equine and camel feed segment in the UAE. Working with a centre of excellence like ADECH enables us to refine products, share knowledge, and support product differentiation and long‑term excellence in equine and camel nutrition.”
Alpha Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer at Abu Dhabi Equine and Camel Hospital, said: “This collaboration represents an important step in strengthening the integration between advanced veterinary care and high-quality nutrition. Building on Al Dahra’s scale and feed expertise, this partnership will enable customers to achieve healthier, higher-performing horses and camels across the UAE.”
