New Animated Video Highlights Corn’s Journey To Global Markets

Aug 25, 2023

Based on the infographic “How Does U.S. Grain Move?,” a new video released by the U.S. Grains Council (USGC) highlights the journey U.S. corn takes domestically and internationally. The video also provides a breakdown of how the commodity reaches its final destination via different logistical pathways, including ocean vessel, rail and truck.

Like the infographics available in the Council’s media resources library, animated videos are a great way for Council members and the general public to get a snapshot of the organization’s work to develop markets, enable trade and improve lives.

“The video is a quick view of the value chain for U.S. corn – and boasts the extensive network of truck, rail and ocean vessel operations that allows the U.S. to transport the commodity within our own country and around the world,” said Bryan Jernigan, USGC director of communications. “The video makes a strong case that the U.S. supply chain is the most extensive and efficient in getting commodities to those who want them wherever they are.”

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
