DEL RIO FEED & SUPPLY, LLC

DEL RIO FEED & SUPPLY, LLC specializes in the production and treatment of specialty corn products for federal wildlife and livestock health programs, with deep expertise in veterinary pharmaceutical integration into feedstock. The contractor manufactures and treats whole-kernel yellow corn with ivermectin, a parasiticide used to control cattle fever ticks in wildlife reservoirs, primarily for the USDA’s Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. Their technical capability spans dual-process operations: sourcing clean, double-cleaned corn and applying precise, regulated topical treatments to ensure efficacy and compliance with animal health standards. This niche integration of agricultural production with veterinary pharmacology distinguishes them as a critical supplier in zoonotic disease mitigation efforts. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-standing relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, delivering mission-critical feed solutions under the CFTEP and related animal health initiatives. Their work supports USDA’s wildlife management and livestock protection objectives, particularly in border regions where tick-borne disease control is essential to agricultural biosecurity. Engagement patterns indicate recurring, program-driven procurement cycles tied to seasonal tick activity and eradication timelines, suggesting a trusted, operational partner role within USDA’s veterinary services division. Their primary industry focus lies in Other Animal Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311119) and Corn Farming (NAICS 111150), combining agricultural sourcing with regulated pharmaceutical application. This vertical specialization positions them uniquely in the federal animal health supply chain, bridging traditional farming with controlled veterinary product distribution. They operate without formal government certifications but maintain rigorous quality controls to meet USDA biological and purity standards for treated feed. Based in Del Rio, Texas, the company leverages its geographic proximity to key wildlife corridors and USDA field operations to support rapid, just-in-time delivery of treated corn. Their business model is lean and operationally focused, serving a highly specialized federal market with precision-engineered agricultural-pharmaceutical solutions.
