ARTICLE 62 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2024 “It’s no secret that the need for improved feed efficiency is driven by rising operating costs: today’s farmers know how crucial it is to extract maximum value from each unit of feed. That means leveraging advanced technologies that optimize ingredient usage and minimize waste, enabling them to sustain production without compromising quality.” The USDA projects continued growth in broiler chicken production for 2024, driven by increased demand. And broiler-type egg production is expected to reach 46.9 billion pounds, up by 489 million pounds from 2023.1 As well as pork production in 2024 is expected to be about 28.1 billion pounds, 2.9 percent above production in 20232. This growth reflects the rising need for more efficient feed production solutions on farms – especially for those farmers making do with feed mills that may have been in operation for 30 years or more. New investment – and new technology – is key. AGI’s broad range of feed products are designed to help farmers meet these growing needs. Our AGI FLEXmill system is just one example. AGI FLEXmill SYSTEM It’s no secret that the need for improved feed efficiency is driven by rising operating costs: today’s farmers know how crucial it is to extract maximum value from each unit of feed. That means leveraging advanced technologies that optimize ingredient usage and minimize waste, enabling them to sustain production without compromising quality. The AGI FLEXmill is designed to do just that, by offering farmers a flexible, modular solution that can be tailored precisely to the specific needs of their operation. The AGI FLEXmill is a predesigned configurable batching, grinding, and mixing system for feed mills. It has all the advantages and flexibility of a custom-designed commercial feed mill at a cost that is economical for feed applications. Standing at just 18 feet in height and suitable for a wide range of applications, our AGI FLEXmill can easily be retrofitted into existing facilities. And enhancing the efficiency of those facilities is what this system is all about. A key advantage of the AGI FLEXmill is its integrated hammer mill with built in air assist. The hammer mill was designed with versatility in mind, as many integrated operations require the ability to grind multiple whole grains within a single recipe. The industry has not typically seen air assists inPOULTRY PRODUCTION IN 2024 AND BEYOND: NEW SOLUTIONS TO MEET GROWING FEED DEMAND André Magrini Sales Director, Feed & Food Platforms, North America, AGI Vice Chairman, Marketing & Communications Committee, AFIA
