Receiving and Testing

This is where every ingredient’s journey begins. Each load that arrives at the mill is carefully sampled and tested to ensure it meets quality and safety standards. Think of it like inspecting ingredients before cooking—only the best materials move forward in the process.Key Functions

• Receive bulk ingredients like corn, soy, and grains
• Inspect trucks and sample ingredients upon arrival
• Test for moisture, protein, and contaminants
• Approve or reject materials before unloading

Storage

After testing, ingredients are stored in large silos or bins—each designed to protect quality and prevent loss. Just like a pantry, organization and control are key to keeping everything fresh and ready for the next batch.Key Functions

• Hold ingredients in bins or silos until use
• Prevent spoilage, cross-contamination, and shrink
• Track inventory levels in real time

• Maintain proper temperature and humidity

Grinding

Grinding transforms whole grains into fine particles for better digestibility and mixing. The goal is consistency—making sure every bite of feed delivers balanced nutrition to the animals.Key Functions

• Break down grains to the right particle size
• Improve mixing consistency and nutrient absorption

• Use hammermills or roller mills

• Monitor energy use and screen performance

Mixing & Pelleting

This is the heart of the mill—where all ingredients come together. Mixers blend dry and liquid components evenly, and the pelleting process “cooks” the feed under heat and pressure. It’s like turning raw ingredients into a finished meal—nutrient-dense, uniform, and ready to serve.Key Functions

• Combine macro, micro, and liquid ingredients
• Ensure even distribution of nutrients

• Add steam and pressure to form pellets

• Enhance feed efficiency and reduce waste

Cooling

Fresh pellets come out hot and need to be cooled before packaging or delivery. Cooling and screening protect feed quality, ensuring every pellet is clean, cool, and uniform before moving to loadout.Key Functions

• Reduce pellet temperature after pelleting
• Remove fines and broken pellets

• Maintain pellet quality and durability

• Prepare feed for safe storage or loadout

Loadout

The final step of the journey—finished feed is weighed, loaded, and sent out to farms. Every truck follows strict biosecurity protocols to protect the birds and the feed supply. Precision here means the right feed, in the right place, at the right time.Key Functions

• Weigh and load finished feed into trucks
• Track batch numbers and destinations

• Maintain biosecurity and traceability

• Deliver feed safely and efficiently to farms
