Built by people who've been in the barn.

Nearly a century of combined dairy nutrition, research and ruminant sales experience, now focused on one breakthrough.

It all started with two dairy experts playing golf and discussing the challenges with dairy rations. That's where the idea for Kalium Agri, Inc. and Oxyntra™ were born.
