Irish animal feed and fertilisers manufacturer Origin Enterprises today said it had an "excellent performance" during its fiscal first quarter.

The Dublin-based company - which also makes Roma-brand pasta, and imports food under Shamrock Foods - was created when IAWS Group sold its shares in the company in May.

Origin then bought Greencore's 50 per cent stake in Odlum after its fiscal year ended in July, taking full control.
