In order to secure animal feed supplies for milk producers, the Anand-based Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Ltd or Amul Dairy is setting up a cattle feed factory with a capacity to manufacture 1,000 tonnes per day (TPD). The new plant will make Amul Asia’s largest cattle feed producer.

Amul Dairy has invested Rs 100-150 crore towards setting up the new plant near Kapadvanj in Kaira district of Gujarat. The plant is likely to be commissioned in a year’s time.

With the new cattle feed plant, Amul is set to become Asia’s largest cattle feed manufacturer with a total capacity of over 2,000 tonnes daily. The dairy has an existing cattle feed making plant with a capacity of 1,100 tonnes daily near Anand at Kanajri.
