The American Feed Industry Association has opened registration for its online feed manufacturing course, conducted in partnership with Kansas State University, Aug. 27-Sept. 28.

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 feed technology group in KSU\'s department of grain science and industry developed AFIA 500 in 2010. 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.
