Feed Mill

Southeast Asia is a region with an emerging livestock industry. Predominantly, poultry is the most widely produced meat. There is a limited pork market due to Muslim Halal dietary restrictions. The growing beef industry and overall rise meat consumption has caused an increase in livestock feed production. 

I toured the Proconco Feed Mill which utilizes recycled resources to produce for local Vietnamese markets. The feed is catered to livestock and aquaculture industries and typically contains around 12 ingredients, Many of the ingredients are byproducts of other industries such as corn and peanuts. I was impressed with the resourcefulness of the feed mill and the owners dedication to creating nutritious feeds. Proconco Feed Mill dominates a majority of the Vietnamese feed market and I believe it has the potential to expand throughout the Asian region.

That is one large pile of feed!
