For many years, Manna Pro has paved the way for excellence in animal nutrition. Founded in 1985, we are the successor to Carnation Company Milling Division, which has a long history of manufacturing and marketing diversified animal feed. E.A. Stuart founded the Carnation Company when he purchased the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company in 1899. Our antecedents include Albers Brothers Milling Co. and John W. Eshelman & Sons, the oldest established feed business in the U.S.
Today Manna Pro’s headquarters are located in St. Louis, MO, with 170 employees nationwide, six operating mills and one distribution center, allowing for complete coverage of the United States market and numerous international markets, such as Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the European Union.
Our Flagship Brand – Calf-Manna
Our flagship brand, Calf-Manna, was developed in 1931 and became the first dry pelleted calf feed to be manufactured in the U.S. Carnation's vision was to revolutionize the dairy industry by developing a feed with nutritional elements that would enhance the development of dairy heifer calves. It was quickly discovered that Calf-Manna was not just effective for developing heifers, but for lactating cows as well. When Calf-Manna is added to the daily ration, it proves to be an outstanding supplement for not only dairy cattle, but also for beef cattle, horses, rabbits, swine, deer, and poultry. In fact in today’s market, horses consume more Calf-Manna than any other species.

For 75 years, Calf-Manna has been the country’s leading nutritional feed supplement. When added to daily feeding rations, Calf-Manna makes a difference in overall performance. In fact, 7 out of 10 major show cattle champions are fed Calf-Manna.
