Nutrition

Our personalized formulation approach provides expert advice from pig nutritionists and custom diet programs for each stage of pig production: nursery, sow, and wean-to-finish. We use production data reviews, in-barn walk-throughs, and continuous performance evaluations to refine and optimize pig feed formulations, ensuring the best results for your operation.

Pipestone Nutrition partners with manufacturers and regional distributors to aggregate swine feed ingredient sourcing, securing competitive pricing to reduce pig feed costs. We offer full transparency on feed ingredient pricing, with weekly updates and regional price reports to help you make informed purchasing decisions. Additionally, our ingredient rebates provide savings based on volume.

Through our Feed Mill Management offering, Pipestone Nutrition allows farmers to co-own a feed mill with local, like-minded producers. Farmers invest in the mill, and Pipestone oversees the entire milling operation, including sourcing pig feed ingredients, mixing, and ensuring consistent quality control. This collaboration ensures farmers receive high-quality, custom-formulated feed, while benefiting from shared ownership of the feed mill.

We conduct extensive swine nutrition research in state-of-the-art facilities, testing our pig diets in real-world conditions and comparing their performance to industry-leading programs. We validate formulations through ingredient lab analysis, feed mill expertise, and nutrition research data, while monitoring mycotoxin levels to ensure feed safety.
