Pilgrim’s donates $100K to Mississippi State’s feed mill construction

STARKVILLE, Miss.— Pilgrim’s Pride has donated a major gift toward constructing a new poultry feed mill facility at Mississippi State University. The company’s $100,000 gift marks another chapter in demonstrating its longstanding relationship with the university’s poultry science department.

Pilgrim’s — which also partners with MSU for internship and mentoring programs — produces fresh, frozen and value-added products from its operations across 14 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, Mexico, the U.K. and Europe. The company likewise supports MSU through involvement in courses, advisory boards and primary sponsorship of the poultry science department’s annual crawfish. . .
