The American Feed Industry Association has opened registration for its spring online feed manufacturing course. 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 load out, and maintenance.

AFIA-KSU 500 is conducted in partnership with Kansas State University (KSU). KSU is the only U.S. university to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in feed manufacturing and is home to the IGP Institute. The courses are taught by a diverse blend of individuals from KSU and within the feed and allied industries and provide in-depth training on all aspects related to feed manufacturing.

AFIA-KSU 500 will take place from April 15 to June 3. Deadline to register is Friday, March 29.  More information here.
