Course Overview:
Many students studying animal nutrition or ag engineering don’t have direct access to or experience in a feed mill. NCI provides this three day workshop as a service to those students and our partner universities.
The course will be focused on participants gaining a better understanding of the feed milling industry, milling processes, and feed quality and safety standards. Participants will also experience a comprehensive overview of feed manufacturing considerations from ingredient selection to finished product. This workshop is a supplemental experience to classroom learning as students will spend time in both the classroom setting and working hands on with feed processing equipment at the NCI Feed Mill.
Objectives:
Improve understanding of ingredient processing and feed production.
Gain knowledge of standard quality control checks.
Observe feed mill operations and lay out.
Learn about feed quality and safety.
Who Should Attend?
This course is suitable for graduate students in animal science, dairy science, poultry science, ag & biosystems engineering, or related fields from any University. Junior and senior level undergraduate students may be considered for the course as well.
