About Us
In 1978, Animal Nutrition Systems (ANS) began pre-mixing supplements and feed additives for dairy farms. Initially, this was done under a different name but by 1985 we established ANS. Our goal was and still is to create a reliable plant that was able to properly mix and consistently deliver a high-quality uniform product. During that time nutritionists and dairies were having challenges as well such as cross contamination of feed ingredients in supplement packages from different feed/supplement mills.
Today, ANS is still a premix/supplement plant, providing quality supplements with no cross contamination or unauthorized substitutions. We are a fully computerized automated batch ran plant.
