Livestock & Poultry production is an integral part of Nepal's agriculture sector and plays a vital role in national economy. The size of this sector is still growing. Not many feed mills are operating in the surrounding areas of the project, therefore it is obvious that the project shall yield better results.
The trend for concentrate feeding to livestock is changing from the conventional concentrate feeding to a formulated compound feed. Compound feeds are feedstuffs that are blended from various raw materials and additives. These blends are formulated according to the specific requirements of the target animal. They are manufactured by feed compounders as meal type, pellets or crumbles. Nowadays, compound feed is used by many dairy & poultry farmers to get the maximum potential in terms of milk and meat.
The beginning of industrial-scale production of animal feeds can be traced back to the late 19th century, around the time advances in human and animal nutrition were able to identify the benefits of a balanced diet, and the importance of the role processing of certain raw materials played. Corn gluten feed was first manufactured in 1882, while leading world feed producer Purina Feeds was established in 1894 by William Hollington Danforth. Cargill, which was mainly dealing in grains from its beginnings in 1865, started to deal in feed at about 1884.
The feed industry expanded rapidly in the first quarter of the 20th century, with Purina expanding its operations into Canada, and opened its first feed mill in 1927 (which is still in operation).In 1928, the feed industry was revolutionized by the introduction of the first pelleted feeds - Purina Checkers.
