Agtegra to produce turkey feed
ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, US - Agtegra Cooperative
is adding a new feed product to its portfolio. The Herreid feed
mill in South Dakota, US, will produce around 5,000 tons of
turkey feed annually.
The facility implemented a few changes to accommodate
mixing another species' feed in the mill. In addition to more
load-out spouts for the dedicated turkey feed bins, a hand-add
scale and other small measuring instruments were installed
to track feed ingredients. A larger addition included a system
used in applying Sal-Curb, a formaldehyde product used to
reduce bacteria when mixing turkey feed ingredients. Other
small upgrades to the mill were made to comply with turkey
feed milling regulations.
The addition to Herreid's milling capabilities will nearly
double the total feed volume produced per year at the location.
Agtegra expects the expansion to impact more than just its
feed business.
" Livestock development creates more local demand for
corn and soybean meal, " said Scott Kilber, feed division manager
of Agtegra. " It also creates jobs and opportunities for our
kids to stay here in South Dakota.
" We continue to look for opportunities to support livestock
development in our area because of the impact the agriculture
industry has on every aspect of our lives. Every mouth we can
feed here has a ripple effect on overall growth for our cooperative,
community, county and state. "
