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.
