Bharal Développement (Difagri) has acquired Dietagro
Bharal Développement Group, comprising the Difagri and Alinova brands, has acquired Dietagro as part of its build-up strategy to expand its industrial capabilities and further diversify its expertise across animal species and dosage forms.
Bharal Développement is a Vendée-based group specializing in nutritional supplements for livestock, formed around Difagri by FrenchFood Capital. The group brings together Difagri, which designs, manufactures and markets complementary feed for farm animals, particularly ruminants, and Alinova, a specialist in monogastric nutrition that joined the group in 2025.
Dietagro is a Mayenne-based company specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of feed additives, flavoring substances, premixes and nutritional supplements for livestock, primarily formulated from plants and plant extracts. Leveraging its liquid and powder production facilities, the company develops tailor-made solutions for all animal species, particularly swine, ruminants, poultry and equine, in response to evolving requirements in animal nutrition and health.
Oaklins’ buy-and-build team in France supported Bharal Développement and FrenchFood Capital throughout the acquisition process, from identifying relevant targets based on predefined strategic criteria to the completion of the transaction. This included initiating contact with targets, conducting in-depth analysis and valuation and leading negotiations. Through a structured and systematic approach, the team identified multiple opportunities and conducted parallel discussions, leading to the completion of the acquisition of Dietagro.
