The American Feed Industry Association has opened registration for its winter online feed manufacturing course, \"AFIA 500: Fundamentals of Feed Manufacturing.\" 

The five-week 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.

The course will be conducted in partnership with Kansas State University and will be held from October 21 to December 9. The deadline to register is October 4. For more information and registration visit www.cvent.com/events/.
