According to the International Feed Industry Federation, the commercial feed manufacturing industry is a nearly half-trillion dollar business globally. In the U.S. alone, according to the American Feed Industry Association, there are more than 5,800 animal food manufacturing facilities producing more than 284 million tons of finished feed and pet food each year. 

The past year has presented a series of challenges to the industry unlike any other year in recent memory.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Mark Lyons, CEO of Alltech, about what he and his colleagues in the global feed business have learned over the past year, and the challenges his company continues to face in COVID hotspots like India and Brazil. We’ll also discuss the results of the company’s annual Global Feed Survey, and the trends the survey uncovered from around the world. Finally, we’ll preview the Alltech One Ideas Conference.
