In 2001 Youngs Animal Feeds merged with Dollin Morris resulting in a single company with excellent combined experiences of both the manufacturing and distribution of animal feed. Recently all manufacturing has been centralized at its Standon Mill site. Rurally located, a mill has stood at Standon for many centuries, in fact the Doomsday Book records one at this site. Originally water powered, the mill houses many different mixers. Behind this old facade there is a modern maximizing lines. A brand new state of the art fiber mill was opened in 2006 ensuring that its manufacturing process is as up to date as possible. All feed is made to set recipes designed to meet the nutritional requirements of the animal it is intended for. Youngs Animal Feeds pride themselves on using natural fresh raw materials and feeds are made on a 'just-in-time' basis so it remains as fresh as possible on dispatch from site. Quality is an important issue and the company is constantly striving to improve both its plant and manufacturing processes.
