Feed procurement glossary
Concentrate
Definition
A concentrate is a high-nutrient blend that farmers mix with their own grain to make a complete feed. It sits between premix and complete feed in inclusion rate.
Why it matters
Concentrate production lets a mill serve farmers who have their own grain, changing volume and logistics planning.
When it affects procurement
When product strategy affects bagging formats and marketing channels.
Example
A 20 percent inclusion dairy concentrate sold to farms that grow their own maize.
Frequently asked questions
Is concentrate easier to produce than complete feed?
