At Kent Nutrition Group (KNG), our Kent and Blue Seal brands personify our three brand pillars – Quality, Service, and Trust. We apply these three pillars to help us fulfill our mission to be the most trusted and preeminent regionally focused animal nutrition brands in the country — with Kent in the Midwest and Blue Seal in the East. Because of this, we believe that it is both our privilege and responsibility to give back to those we work beside and serve.

To help support this effort, we have created KNG Gives to be our community impact program to provide relief, aid, donations, and financial support to the business, communities, and customers we serve. Giving back through KNG Gives not only helps us express our sincere gratitude for our success, but also lets us demonstrate that KNG is not just an animal company, but a people company as well.
