Safe Feeds: Quality Raw Material Selection and Reliable Control

Quality and safety control of feeds: the importance of combating mycotoxins! VITAGRO NUTRITION operates on the principle: the best way to avoid a problem is to prevent it!

Mycotoxins are the byproducts of microscopic mold fungi that can appear on agricultural crops during their cultivation and harvesting. The main causes of grain contamination with mycotoxins are its mechanical damage and infestation by insects. The timing of grain harvesting, drying methods, and storage conditions are of great importance, as temperature, humidity, and any damage are the main factors contributing to the appearance of mold fungi that promote the development of mycotoxins.

In compound feeds, mycotoxins most often enter through poor-quality raw materials, specifically through infected agricultural crops, including corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, rice, improper storage, and untimely detection by feed manufacturers. Consequently, various types of mycotoxins enter the bodies of animals or birds with feed, causing changes in intestinal microflora, inflammation of mucous membranes, and suppression of immunity.

To prevent contaminated grain from entering the feed production process, VITAGRO NUTRITION’s plant has established a three-level quality control system: analysis of incoming raw materials, laboratory analyses during feed production, their transfer to the warehouse, and before shipment to customers. We care about the quality of our products and feed safety for your farms, so if poor-quality or contaminated raw materials are detected, they are not allowed into production.

VITAGRO NUTRITION warehouses are equipped with a modern ventilation system, which allows for proper storage of both raw materials and finished products. It is important for us that our feed production meets the declared indicators of high quality, and customers receive the desired result.

VITAGRO NUTRITION is a manufacturer of quality and safe feeds and feed additives.
