We Convert Waste Into Useful Products

"Use of byproduct feeds is a crucial component of the economic and environmental sustainability of the California dairy industry, as well as the agricultural industries where byproducts are sourced. Access to byproducts helps keep production costs lower and improves the economic viability of the industry. Byproduct use also reduces environmental and resource pressures on cropland and especially irrigation water in the San Joaquin Valley. Access to byproduct feeds reduce the demand for land and water devoted to silage and alfalfa hay. Finally, California dairies convert agricultural and manufacturing byproducts that would otherwise be destined for the waste stream into nutritious dairy products for human consumption"
