Procurement

We know that great nutrition starts with the right inputs. But navigating the feed ingredient market isn’t easy, especially when facing rising costs and fluctuating supply. We help our customers with sourcing by aligning strategically and leveraging mutual buying power, that’s where our procurement support can make a real difference.

Our nutrition team works hand-in-hand with our procurement team to ensure you’re getting not only the best price, but also the right product, backed by research and field performance.

Unbiased, Research-Backed Recommendations

KNS doesn’t focus on selling our own branded additives. That means you’ll always get objective guidance based on what works, not just what’s on the shelf. We recommend only ingredients and additives that have been proven through sound research and validated in the real world.

Whether it’s amino acids, enzymes, medications, or specialty additives, we know what works, and we’ll help you find the best option for your animals and your bottom line.

What We Source:

We focus on sourcing ingredients across major categories, including:

Amino acids
Vitamins and minerals
Enzymes and feed additives
Medications and specialty inputs

Thanks to our connections through Kalmbach Feeds, we’re not just sourcing, we’re also deeply involved in the quality control process. Our teams thoroughly vet suppliers to help reduce risk and ensure you’re getting consistent, dependable ingredients every time.

Creating Lasting Partnerships

Procurement isn’t just about price, it’s about partnership. We work with you to align your purchasing strategy with the broader supply network we manage, helping you take advantage of scale, reliability, and expertise you might not otherwise access to.
