What Agpack does

AgPack LLC is a privately held U.S. specialty feed ingredient manufacturer that supplies value-added protein concentrates and feed efficiency products to feed mills and livestock producers worldwide. The company operates three species-segregated manufacturing plants in Disputanta VA (mammalian- and poultry-protein-free), Sanford NC (ruminant-free), and Westville OK (ruminant-free), enabling compliance with country-specific regulations prohibiting certain animal proteins in feed. Its product portfolio spans PRO-PAK and Pro-Plus for poultry, PRO-LAK for dairy, AG-PRO and VeGain for vegetable-based poultry diets, and Aqua-Pak Fish, Aqua-Pak Shrimp, and the patented AQUA-PAK Pro-Cision for aquaculture. PRO-PAK was created over 50 years ago, while PRO-LAK was co-developed with Cornell University in the mid-1980s.

AgPack's core technology is proprietary protein concentrate formulation combining animal and vegetable proteins, antimicrobial and antioxidant treatments, and customizable protein levels from 45% to 65%, with patented AQUA-PAK Pro-Cision reducing amino acid leaching in shrimp feed by 40%. Products are engineered as cost-efficient replacements for fishmeal — enabling up to 75% fishmeal substitution in aquaculture diets without performance loss — and are backed by continuous university and independent nutritionist research.

The business model is sales-led B2B with no stockpiling: AgPack manufactures product to order under just-in-time protocols, ships via its own logistics team directly to feed manufacturers and livestock producers, and serves customers across poultry, dairy, swine, and aquaculture verticals in domestic U.S. and international markets. Custom formulations are designed by Ph.D. nutritionists per customer specification, creating switching friction tied to reformulation costs and production downtime. Revenue is generated through direct product sales; no pricing is publicly disclosed and no distribution partners, resellers, or app/digital channels exist.

AgPack offers a portfolio of protein concentrate products across multiple animal nutrition segments: PRO-PAK® and Pro-Plus for poultry, PRO-LAK® for dairy, AG-PRO™ and VeGain™ for vegetable-based poultry feeds, and Aqua-Pak™ products (Fish, Shrimp, and Pro-Cision) for aquaculture. The products serve as cost-efficient replacements for fishmeal, providing high-quality amino acids, metabolizable energy, and digestibility. The company operates three strategically located manufacturing plants in Disputanta VA, Sanford NC, and Westville OK.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Cornell UniversitycoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 1985In conjunction with Cornell University, a by-pass protein product for cows was developed in the mid-1980s. Research at that time also developed the benefits of an 'ideal amino acid profile' balancing for amino acids. AgPack continues its commitment to the dairy industry working with university research programs and scientists to make certain products benefit the industry and are highly effective.

Direct peers

• Biorigin:
• Hamlet Protein: Manufacturer of specialty protein ingredients for young animal (piglet, calf, aqua) feed. Comparable to AgPack because both produce high-digestibility, customized protein concentrates positioned as premium alternatives to fishmeal and soy, sold into similar feed manufacturer customer channels.
• ICC Brazil: Brazil-based producer of natural feed ingredients including yeast-based protein derivatives for animal nutrition. Comparable to AgPack because both market functional, value-added protein supplements that displace fishmeal or commodity proteins in poultry, swine, and aquaculture rations.

Emerging players

• Calysta (now part of Adisseo/Cargill JV): Pioneer of single-cell protein (FeedKind) for aquaculture and animal feed as a fishmeal alternative. Comparable to AgPack's Aqua-Pak line because both target fishmeal replacement in aquaculture with proprietary protein technology, though Calysta's microbial protein is a competing novel approach.

Broad incumbents

• Wilmar International (Animal Nutrition): Asia-based agribusiness with significant animal feed and protein meal operations. Comparable to AgPack because both supply protein-rich feed ingredients, though Wilmar is far larger and more vertically integrated into oilseed crushing and aquaculture feed across Asia.
• Alltech: Global animal nutrition company producing feed additives, specialty proteins, and aquaculture nutrition products. Comparable to AgPack because both serve feed manufacturers with value-added protein and nutritional solutions across poultry, ruminant, and aquaculture segments, though Alltech is a much larger diversified player.
• Cargill Aqua Nutrition: Global animal nutrition division of Cargill, producing aquaculture feed and protein ingredients. Comparable to AgPack because both supply feed manufacturers and aquaculture producers with protein ingredients, with Cargill offering end-to-end feed solutions versus AgPack's specialty protein concentrate focus.
• Adisseo: Global feed additive and amino acid specialist (now part of China National Bluestar). Comparable to AgPack because both target the same protein/amino acid optimization need in poultry, swine, ruminant, and aquaculture feed, with overlapping product positioning around methionine, lysine, and specialty protein sources.
• Darling Ingredients: Global leader in rendering and sustainable protein meals (including fishmeal alternatives) for animal feed. Directly comparable to AgPack because both supply protein concentrate ingredients used in poultry, aquaculture, and livestock feed, though Darling operates at vastly greater scale and is vertically integrated across rendering.

Regional players

• Omega Protein (Cooke Inc.): North American producer of fishmeal, fish oil, and protein hydrolysates from menhaden. Comparable to AgPack because both supply protein concentrates to aquaculture and livestock feed markets, but Omega Protein competes as a fishmeal source rather than a fishmeal-replacement ingredient.
