Our story
Since 2001 we have brought the founding partners’ field experience together in a single company.
Field experience, brought together in one company
Alpha was founded in 2001 by partners who wanted to bring more than thirty years of work alongside farmers into an innovative company.
Since then we have worked with the feed industry and with cattle and pig farmers: from premix to complete feed, with formulations built on the farm and selected by-products.

Milestones
From the founders’ experience to today
A few milestones, the ones that matter.
Before 2001
Over thirty years alongside farmers
The founding partners work for more than thirty years alongside cattle and pig farmers: rations, raw materials, farm problems solved in the field. That is the heritage Alpha was born from.
2001
Alpha S.p.A. is founded
In Verona, the founders bring that experience together in a trading company specialised in additives, raw materials and feeds for the feed industry and for livestock farmers: among the pioneers in Italy in the use of by-products in animal nutrition.
2005
Alpha becomes an Srl, based in Lodi
The company changes its legal form and settles in Lodi, in the heart of the Po Valley livestock area. It stays true to its idea: a lean, independent structure, low fixed costs, quick decisions, a technical team that formulates, buys and visits farms.
For about twenty years
Liquid wheat distillers’ grains
Protein, starch and fat in liquid form, made in Italy, for cattle, pigs and biogas plants: a raw material our specialists have followed for about twenty years, from selection to use in the ration. For pigs: only for pigs outside the Parma ham PDO circuit.
2006
Biscuit meal and food-industry by-products
A field trial with biscuit meal in weaned piglets (Suinicoltura 9/2007). Then cattle rations: ready energy that can cost less than what it replaces. Today the family includes biscuit meal, bakery pellets and meals, brewers’ grains, extruded maize, soya and linseed. For pigs: only for pigs outside the Parma ham PDO circuit.
Today
Raw materials, additives and formulation
About 60,000 tonnes a year of raw materials and by-products, premixes and nutraceuticals, biomass for biogas. A complete technical team for formulation, purchasing and farm visits: our specialists also formulate for major feed mills.
