IFEEDER, an arm of AFIA, the largest trade organization in the world devoted to representing the business interests of the US animal food industry and its suppliers, is reportedly the main donor with gifts and gift commitments of $2.88 million (Fig. 1; Boren 2022). AFIA’s members include over 650 companies and manufacture over 75% of livestock feed in the USA (AFIA et al. 2022). IFEEDER’s (2022) largest donors include Alltech Inc., WATT Global Media, Cargill Animal Nutrition, and Elanco Animal Health, with each having given at least $250,000 to qualify as “chairman’s” or “diamond” donors (IFEEDER n.d.a, n.d.e). Other major IFEEDER donors include Church & Dwight Company Inc., Darling Ingredients Inc., Distributors Processing Inc. (where Mitloehner is listed as a director, according to OpenCorporates 2023), Land O’Lakes Inc., and Zinpro Corporation (IFEEDER 2022). Other CLEAR donors include the National Pork Board ($600,000), the California Cattle Council (“nearly $200,000”), and Burger King Corporation ($106,000) (Boren 2022; CLEAR Center 2023b)."
