ANIMAL FEED

closed

The overall objectives of the Animal Feed Project are the following: 1) alleviation of supply constraints of critical feed ingredients; 2) improvement and expansion of the utilization of agroindustrial byproducts for use as high-quality livestock feeds; 3) improvement of the organizational efficiency of the feed sector through specialization and integration; and 4) restructuring of project enterprises to effect greater corporate efficiency and commercialization. The project is essentially a financial intermediation operation directed toward increasing supply constraints and strengthening the feed sub-sector infrastructure, and comprises six types of domestic feed ingredient or service capacity building sub-projects or components and one feed sub-sector strengthening component. The six capacity building components include: 1) integrated feed and livestock production; 2) feed additives manufacture; 3) feed protein crop production; 4) feed processing equipment design and manufacture; 5) enhanced-protein feed product synthesis; and 6) feed commodity wholesale marketing.
