ANIMAL NUTRITION CENTER<br />
CAL POLY, SAN LUIS OBISPO<br />
The new <strong>Animal</strong> Nutrition Center is a state-of-the-art<br />
training and research facility located on the <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong><br />
campus, in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities<br />
in <strong>Cal</strong>ifornia - <strong>San</strong> <strong>Luis</strong> Obispo. The new facility will not<br />
only serve to teach students processing and research<br />
principles, but it will also serve as a destination site for<br />
feed industry short courses, focusing on both domestic<br />
and international animal feed manufacturing.<br />
For all stages of animal feed processing, from feed<br />
formulation, to merchandising and manufacturing,<br />
to packaging, marketing and research, this center<br />
will provide the safest possible environment. Beyond<br />
the ordinary classroom, students will experience a<br />
technologically advanced “real world” education in<br />
this modular feed plant, intended to blur the lines<br />
between the feed industry and higher education.<br />
Companies worldwide will use this facility to conduct<br />
manufacturing research and product development<br />
alongside <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong> students and faculty. Never before<br />
will our <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong> grads be so prepared to serve the<br />
feed management industry as leaders, innovators and<br />
experienced problem solvers.<br />
Financing for the $5.25 million <strong>Animal</strong> Nutrition<br />
Center will be a collaboration of public and private<br />
sectors. In combination with funding from the State<br />
of <strong>Cal</strong>ifornia and private donations from suppliers of<br />
feed manufacturing equipment, the <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong> <strong>Animal</strong><br />
<strong>Science</strong> <strong>Department</strong> has secured nearly $4 million<br />
for this project. The financing that remains will come<br />
through corporate and private donors.<br />
Now is your chance to contribute to a one-of-a-kind<br />
feed manufacturing facility and support a center<br />
where academics and the animal nutrition industry<br />
work hand-in-hand to create a mutually beneficial<br />
educational experience.<br />
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND SUPPORT.<br />
LEARNING FEED BY DOING FEED<br />
<strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong>’s <strong>Animal</strong> Nutrition Center is critical to preparing<br />
future leaders in the ever evolving feed industry. With your<br />
support, it will be one of the finest feed manufacturing<br />
centers in the nation. Now is your opportunity to help<br />
guarantee a place where past principles and future<br />
innovation join forces to improve education and meet the<br />
needs of a progressive feed industry.<br />

INNOVATION<br />
Kevin Kruse<br />
PRESIDENT<br />
WESTERN MILLING<br />
“As a feed company owner and <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong> alumnus, I understand the value of innovation and application of<br />
new technology in the animal nutrition industry. It is essential that universities preparing students for the<br />
feed industry are outfitted with modern equipment, which is especially true at <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong>, where hands-on<br />
instruction is fully implemented. In <strong>Cal</strong> <strong>Poly</strong>’s state-of-the-art <strong>Animal</strong> Nutrition Center, students will gain<br />
the needed experience to enhance all aspects of animal feed manufacturing to provide the industry with<br />
future leaders. I encourage alumni, friends and the feed industry to unite in support of this facility and invest<br />
in the advancement of the entire animal nutrition industry.”<br />
