Company History
Ralco Nutrition, Inc. is a second generation premix company beginning more than 30 years ago. Robert (Bob) and Lou Galbraith were the original owners of the company identified as RALCO. It was originally a home-based business, but rapidly grew to become Ralco-mix Products, Inc. in Marshall, MN. In 2005, the name was changed to Ralco Nutrition, Inc. to better portray our focus on supplying researched and efficient nutrition to all kinds of livestock.
Two original products were marketed when the company was chartered in 1972. These were Sila-Mix® and Suppli-Mix®. Both products remain as significant in marketing today as they did over thirty years ago. The company has added over 100 formula premixes and complete feeds to the cadre of products offered for sale to livestock producers of swine, beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats, horses, buffalo, deer, ratites, chickens and turkeys.
The original Ralco philosophy of feeding livestock naturally remains intact with Ralco Nutrition, Inc. The company has recently added a liquid product base plant to develop feed items that possess high ingredient and nutrient density, requiring small packages and/or liquid containers for marketing.
Ralco Nutrition, Inc. is importing high quality raw materials from all over the world and is continuing to open new markets in the continental U.S. We are also becoming quite active in the feed markets in Central and South America, Mexico, and Canada.
