Owned by Land O’Lakes, the Purina Animal Nutrition Center in Gray Sum-
mit, Missouri is home to the Purina Equine Research Facility. Established
in 1926, the Purina Animal Nutrition Center (PANC) is the premier animal
nutrition research facility in North America and one of the leading centers in
the world. Each year “the farm” plays host to thousands of visitors, ranging from
customers and distinguished academics to 4-H club members.
Spread across 1,188 acres of rolling Missouri pastureland, PANC is home
to 12 different animal species, and off-site collaborative research allows the
nutritional needs of other species to be studied. This facility represents
a continuing commitment to help customers grow healthier and more
productive livestock and pets.
Purina’s strong belief in nutrition research and development is also evident
at the Equine Facility where the horse’s digestive physiology, palatability,
reproduction, development, and exercise physiology are studied to better
meet the horse’s ever changing nutritional needs. The company strives to
create some of the best performing horse feeds in the world.

A proud member of the American Quarter Horse Association since
1980, this unique facility includes an equine breeding program comprised
of 60-70 broodmares and utilize shipped cooled semen to continually
enhance the genetics in an effort to produce well-bred performance and
ranch horse prospects.
