ADM and Alltech have announced a definitive agreement to form a North American animal feed joint venture, combining decades of animal nutrition experience to create new opportunities for customers.
Under the agreement, Alltech will contribute its Hubbard Feeds in the United States and Masterfeeds in Canada, including 18 U.S. and 15 Canadian feed mills. ADM will add 11 U.S. feed mills. The new company will be majority-owned by Alltech and directed by a board with equal representation from both partners.
In a joint statement, the companies highlighted their shared goal to meet growing global food demand. “As the animal nutrition industry continues to reshape itself to support a growing global population, Alltech and ADM are bringing together passionate teams, proven products and shared values to ensure enhanced advantages for our customers,” the companies said in a joint statement. “We’re evolving with purpose to offer an industry-leading range of products and solutions for livestock, equine, backyard and leisure animals.”
The venture reflects a long-standing relationship between ADM and Alltech, dating back to ADM’s role as Alltech’s first customer. It will draw on both companies’ advanced technology, research capabilities, and strong supply networks to deliver innovative products and personalized service.
Alltech will continue to operate its Ridley Block Operations, Ridley Feed Ingredients, and specialty ingredient businesses as partners and suppliers to the venture. ADM will retain its Canadian locations and U.S. premix and additive operations, which will help supply the new company.
The deal is expected to be completed and the joint venture launched in the first quarter of 2026, positioning the partners to better serve the animal nutrition market across North America.
