The Feed Company That Built an 800-Acre Laboratory
KENT Nutrition began with a blunt promise - no filler. Nearly a century later, the family-owned Iowa business tests feed on an 800-acre research farm and sells hundreds of formulas for animals ranging from feedlot cattle to backyard rabbits.
Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply
Murdoch's Ranch & Home Supply is a family-founded Western-living retailer that has grown from a single Bozeman, Montana store in 1994 into a roughly 40-store chain across the Mountain West and, more recently, Texas. It sells farm and ranch essentials, tools and hardware, livestock feed, pet supplies, power equipment, work and Western apparel, and lawn-and-garden goods - carrying more than 100 brands such as Carhartt, Ariat, STIHL and Traeger - through its stores and murdochs.com, backed by roughly 2,200 team members and about $500 million in annual revenue.
Number 8 Bio
Number 8 Bio is a Sydney-based agtech and climate startup building BetterFeed, a low-cost feed additive and slow-release rumen bolus that cuts enteric methane from cattle and sheep by up to 90% in trials while recapturing wasted feed energy to lift animal productivity. After pivoting from yeast biomanufacturing to synthetic-chemistry small molecules, the company targets grass-fed grazing systems - about 95% of Australia's livestock - and has raised roughly A$18 million to move toward commercial release.
Zero Waste Co.
Zero Waste Co. is a climate-tech and circular-economy company that turns agro-industrial byproducts and food waste into high-value resources - chiefly livestock feed - through technology-driven, tailor-made processes. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Miami with operations across Latin America, it pairs its EcoHub processing facilities with a Carbon Solutions arm that measures, monetizes, and manages verified carbon credits, letting food and beverage producers turn waste liabilities into profit and measurable emissions reductions.
