In 2008, RP Feed Components established itself as a company representing the next generation of dairy nutrition and research. Founded by a group of producers, nutritionists, and salespeople, the company proceeded to streamline the process of creating higher milk yields, with better protein and fat content, while reducing feed costs. Amino acid balancing proved essential for these changes to occur. RP Feed Components continues to invest heavily into dairy research and technology, utilizing NIR analysis to quantify amino acid content and variability in feed, while developing software to share this information with their customers. Currently, development is proceeding on a new research facility: a real world production unit with the world class ability to carry-out research that will answer today’s and tomorrow’s questions.
