Raw material for formulation

Our work

The formulation defines what needs to be assessed.

Compare origin, composition and batch conditions to assess the raw material suitable for your animal nutrition requirement.

Purpose

State the formulation and the animal species served by the requirement.

Composition

Compare protein, fibre, moisture and the purchasing specification requirements.

Processing

Consider product characteristics, the batch and packaging.

Explore the product and its applications

What the formulation requires. What the batch provides.

Your operation

Share your formulation requirements.

State the intended meal, animal species and desired composition. Volume, destination and timing complete the enquiry.

Present the composition and processing details.

Identify the raw material, meal characteristics and batch analysis reports. Include origin, packaging and availability.

Product and application

Different raw materials. Specific purchasing criteria.

Soybean, canola and cottonseed are assessed according to composition, processing and the stated formulation requirements.

Assessment criteria

The composition needs to match the requirement.

The purchasing specification guides the assessment of nutritional parameters, processing and safety requirements.
