Livestock Nutrition Center hires 20-year feed industry veteran
Robert Schubert has joined the US-based Livestock Nutrition Center (LNC) as its chief operating officer, adding to its senior management team.
The LNC is a provider of targeted nutrition programs for pre-feedlot cattle producers in South Central US. It operates 15 feed manufacturing facilities across Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Kansas.
Schubert most recently served as managing director of North America Beef/Pork/Poultry for Cargill Animal Nutrition, and he has over 20 years of feed experience across multiple geographies and segments of the feed industry.
During his tenure at Cargill, he led the rollout of significant operational expansion and capital expenditures, noted LNC.
"Robert brings a deep understanding of the feed industry and commercial cattle producers. Livestock Nutrition Center has grown tremendously over the past five years. He is ideally suited to lead our growing team and accelerate the commercialization of our portfolio," said Ben Baer, president, LNC.
Schubert holds a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness from Texas A&M University.
