Alltech

Alltech is a global agricultural science company working across animal nutrition, crop science and sustainable agriculture. Founded in 1980 by Irish biochemist Dr. Pearse Lyons, it produces specialty ingredients, premixes, supplements and feed for livestock and poultry producers worldwide, with operations spanning the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia. Its family of companies includes Ridley Feed Ingredients and HUBBARD.

The company's technical work sits at the intersection of several disciplines: animal nutrition, feed science, crop science and agricultural biotechnology. Beyond its product lines, Alltech publishes the Alltech Agri-Food Outlook annually, an industry report drawing on global feed production data and agricultural trend analysis. It also serves customers in adjacent verticals, including meat production, brewing and distilling.

Leadership remains family-led: Dr. Mark Lyons, son of the founder, currently leads the business. The stated mission is to improve the health and performance of people, animals and plants through nutrition and scientific innovation, with an emphasis on advancing sustainable farming practices and an aspiration described as a "Planet of Plenty". The company characterises its approach as combining agricultural expertise with new technologies.
