ADM Alliance Nutrition and Allied Genetic Resources Sign Nutritional Program Agreement

QUINCY, Ill., May 1, 2014 – ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc., and Allied Genetic Resources, LLC., have signed a strategic agreement to offer cattle producers resources and support with Loomix® liquid supplements to benefit their operations’ nutrition programs and profitability. The agreement encourages genetic leaders in the beef industry to seek expertise and evaluate solutions through the Loomix product lines and staff.“This opportunity stems from long-time relationships in the cattle industry,” said Jared Breinig, liquid feed general manager for ADM Alliance Nutrition. “This partnership will provide cattle producers in Allied Genetic Resources access to the Loomix nutrition products to help the cattle express their genetic potential, as well as other programs and support to help producers better manage their cattle operations.”

The Loomix brand has been a leader in the liquid feed industry since 1952 by feeding over 100 million cattle. Loomix liquid feed is designed to balance cattle diets and enhance production through formulations that provide supplemental protein, vitamins and minerals. Two important patents exist on Loomix liquid feed supplements, one for the unique concept of utilizing sweet and bitter formulations to control consumption and the other for the product’s ability to increase fiber utilization.

“The model of helping highly-reputable, independent seedstock producers achieve greater success by providing customer service opportunities and building industry relationships is truly unique among growing beef genetics businesses,” said Marty Ropp, Allied Genetic Resources executive officer and founder. “Relationships with industry leaders such as ADM Alliance Nutrition give our owners and their customers another strategic advantage over their competition, this time on the nutrition side.”

ADM Alliance Nutrition is committed to the agricultural community, continually working to make the cattle industry more efficient and profitable. To achieve these goals, ADM Alliance Nutrition works closely with universities, agribusiness, producers and other major manufacturers within the beef industry.
