The American Feed Industry Association has opened registration for its fall online feed manufacturing course, conducted in partnership with Kansas State University.

The five-week, "AFIA 500: Fundamentals of Feed Manufacturing" distance education program provides an in-depth understanding of the feed manufacturing process, while allowing participants to work at their own pace and engage in online discussions with other students and university instructors.

The course covers a variety of topics, including the process flow from particle size reduction, to batching and mixing, conditioning and pelleting, boilers, post-pellet systems, packaging and loadout, and maintenance.

It will be held from August 26 to October 14. Deadline to register is August 16 and course size is limited. Visit the course website for more information and to register.
