Quality is not a slogan on a bag — it is a set of checks that happen before, during and after milling. Here is what we control and why each step matters.
Vital Feeds controls quality at three points: incoming maize and soybean meal are lab-tested before entering the mill, mixing and pelleting are controlled so every bag carries the same nutrition, and finished feed is batch-coded so any bag can be traced back to its production batch.
Quality is a set of checks, not a claim on the bag.
Every incoming lot is checked before it enters the mill — protein, moisture and purity.
Rations designed for the species and the stage, not a single general-purpose mix.
Consistent particle size and pellet durability, so animals cannot feed selectively.
Finished feed is coded and traceable back to the batch it was made in.
This is where most quality problems are born. Wet maize grows mould. Soybean meal varies in protein. Adulterated ingredients look fine in a bag and destroy performance in a shed. Once a bad lot is inside the mill and mixed, it cannot be separated out. Testing at intake is the only cheap control point.
Vitamins and trace minerals are included in very small quantities. If mixing is not thorough, some bags carry far more than intended and others almost none — and nothing on the outside of the bag reveals it. Pelleting matters for the same practical reason: a durable pellet stops the animal choosing the tasty parts and leaving the rest.
Feed keeps changing after it leaves us. Bags stacked against a damp wall absorb moisture and grow mould. Feed stored in direct sun degrades vitamins. Old stock fed after fresh stock loses nutritional value. Store bags off the floor, away from walls, in a dry ventilated room, and use oldest stock first.
If anything looks wrong, contact us with the batch code before feeding it.
