How it Started

Del Curley founded a company successful primarily because all employees were treated like family and worked in an environment that stimulated innovation and creativity. In return, these people concentrated on quality, detail, service and results.These principles still prevail and have contributed to our long term sustained growth. Our motivation is the desire to help our clients succeed, and our reward is the pride we feel when we are recognized by them as the leader in animal nutrition and on-the-farm service.

Del Curley and Dr. Bernard Wolnak, a renown biochemist, formulated the first Silo-King®.

DEL CURLEY, a lifetime livestock producer, was 48 when he developed an idea based on the success producers realized by testing their soil and fertilizing accordingly.  By applying that same concept, he theorized livestock would benefit from testing their feedstuffs and adding the necessary vitamins, trace minerals, and energy needs to optimize animal health and production.  He was right!
