Export and transportation of livestock is growing part of the global marketplace. Feed the World, LLC opened its doors Oct. 1 as an export Inspection facility and has since received government approval for export processing.  FTW provides necessary holding, rest, quarantine and inspection for cattle, small ruminants, swine and other animals during their eastbound or westbound journey in a modern, well-ventilated facility.

Feed The World livestock export facilities is a well-equipped holding and inspection site for livestock leaving the country. Once the livestock are inspected and all export requirements are met, they are loaded for transport to destinations all over the world, by air and by sea.  Animals can be exported through the Wilmington Air Park located in Wilmington. The location of FTW is ideal for air transport and is a day's drive from the East Coast.  In addition to 4.5 acres under roof, FTW also offers open-air hoop buildings and pasture for quarantine purposes throughout the state.
