Animal Nutrition

Personal attention, knowledgeable advice

Each year, each day can bring new challenges and opportunities in animal agriculture. But at Countryside, we stay focused on what is always constant – our feed customers goals and profitability.

We routinely go to the farm and work alongside our feed customers to fully understand what adjustments may be necessary to keep rations in balance and delivering optimal nutrition to the animals.

Feed production and delivery

Whether you work with an independent nutritionist or one of our on-staff nutritionists, we will custom blend rations specific for the needs of your animals.

We manufacture feed at our production plants in Menomonie and Mondovi, and we serve our entire trade area out of these two mills.

We work with a wide variety of ingredients and have the capability to produce and deliver the highest quality bagged and bulk feeds. While we operate two mills, you can arrange to pick up your feed at additional locations listed below.

In addition to the feed we manufacture, we provide a full line of supplements, minerals, complete feeds, and liquid feeds.

Our state-of-the-art feed mill in Menonomie has the ability to pellet and crumble feed at up to 10 tons per hour, and steam-flake corn at up to 8 tons per hour. It also offers ingredient blending, along with micro ingredient blending, and bulk and bag mineral mixing up to 50 tons per hour.

In challenging years for forage production like 2019, it pays to have expertise available to bolster rations and keep beef cattle healthy and growing.

We’ll analyze your forage and then put together a supplemental program to deliver the nutrition your cow/calf or feedlot animals need. We’ll also review seasonal mineral programs, fly protection and other needs for your cattle and deliver solutions.

We manufacture and deliver swine feed for all production stages. Look to us for complete feed rations for your operation from sows to nursery to grow/finish.
