Working together to highlight the benefits of
using U.S. DDGS, our Mexico and Latin America offices led a team of
professionals in the cattle industry to Mexico this week.
The team learned about supplementing with DDGS
to improve feed costs and operation outputs. In Mexico, DDGS is a mainstream
ingredient used in most cattle operations, which serves as an example for other
countries to learn about the ingredient and adopt it.
The team visited Regioengordas a feed operation
with 35,000 heads north of Monterrey and just an hour away from Laredo,Tx. They
also toured the feed mill where the team members saw how the rations were mixed
adding forage, steam flaked corn, DDGS, and liquid supplement to manufacture
their rations.
They also saw the end of the chain at dairy and
meat grocery outlets. One such outlet was HEB, the other was a northern Mexico
meat market chain, where one of the region's cattle producers markets his meat
and the other is integrated from owning the feedlots to the slaughterhouse and
meat packing facility.
Interesting benchmark to follow by our guests.
Our consultant Alejandro González modeled one of
the “traveling boxes” where customers from out of town get to buy their
selected meat cuts and are packaged in airtight bags.
