Nutrition Services

Your Partner in Practical, Science Backed Nutrition

Nutrition isn’t just about what’s on paper, it’s about how your animals perform and how your business thrives. We combine research backed strategies, practical field experience, and continuous support to build programs that deliver results you can measure.

From diet formulation to technical services, our team works alongside you to design and adjust feeding programs tailored to your goals, your production system, and your bottom line.

Our Approach to Animal Nutrition

Our philosophy is grounded in unbiased recommendations, science you can trust, and a focus on your success.

We start by meeting with you to understand your priorities (performance targets, health challenges, cost constraints) and then build a nutrition strategy to match. Our team evaluates your ingredient quality, analyzes nutrient content, and develops programs that maximize efficiency without sacrificing animal wellbeing.

Nutrition isn’t a set it and forget it process. We monitor your results, review your data, and make adjustments over time to keep you moving forward.

Diet Formulation

Our formulation process combines precision and flexibility to meet each customer’s unique needs. Whether you’re raising broilers, breeders, turkeys, layers, or pigs. We tailor diets based on species, breed, production stage, and production goals.

How It Works:

Ingredient Analysis

We start by testing the ingredients you have access to, using NIR and wet chemistry techniques to understand nutrient content, mycotoxins, and particle size.

Custom Formulation

Using a least-cost formulation program, we build feed plans that meet your target nutrient levels while keeping costs efficient.

Feeding Schedules

We create detailed feeding schedules to align nutrient intake with each phase of production.

Ongoing Evaluation

As ingredient costs, quality, and performance data change, we update formulations to ensure consistent results.

Because feed costs make up more than 60-70% of production expenses, optimizing nutrition is the most impactful way to improve profitability.

Technical Services

Our technical services team is more than a resource, it’s your partner and champion. We bring practical expertise, scientific insight, and an unwavering focus on your goals.

Technical services and formulation work hand in hand. While our formulation experts build precise diets, our technical team is on the ground, helping you interpret results, solve challenges, and keep your nutrition strategy moving forward. We also leverage our in-house lab, Veritas Agrilabs, to deliver fast, accurate testing that keeps your nutrition program on track.

Data-Driven Support

We help you collect, interpret, and connect data across production, research, and nutrition, bringing the numbers to life so you can spot trends and make informed decisions.

Comprehensive Assessments

Every aspect of production influences outcomes. From lighting and ventilation to diet and disease, we look at the whole picture to identify the real drivers of performance.

Customized Solutions

Whether you’re targeting specific goals or navigating market pressures, we tailor recommendations to help you lower inputs and maximize outputs.

Objective Guidance

Producers are presented with countless options. We help you cut through the noise with unbiased, research-backed advice you can trust.

We don’t show up with a one-size-fits-all playbook. We ask the right questions, listen carefully, and build solutions around what matters to you.

Trusted Insights, Proven Results

KNS is committed to providing independent nutrition advice. We don’t sell feed additives, and we never recommend something we wouldn’t use ourselves. That means you can trust that every recommendation is grounded in science, validated by research, and chosen because it’s the best option for your animals and your operation.
