Pet Food Ingredient Supplier J-Six Enterprises
Fairview Mills is also aware that it is more economical to transport and store pet food in bags rather than bulk products. Fairview Mills is a J-Six Enterprises company. This means that we can transload your bulk pet food ingredients and bag them as per your instructions. This makes it easier to move your products across the product line, from raw product to ready for use. For example, send us whole corn. Our team will load it, mill it, then package it according to your specifications. The raw corn can now be used for the next step of the pet food processing process.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
If you plan to pack your pet food ingredients into bags and totes you need to make sure they are quality-controlled. Each pet food ingredient is tested for moisture, nutrient loss, and other metrics in our analytical lab. We then sift through your ingredients vigorously to remove as much dust and chaff as possible. This process will improve the quality of pet food ingredients and ensure that your fifty-pound bag is completely filled with your product, not with chaff or dust. If you are able to trust that a bag of fifty pounds of corn flour is actually fifty, you will be able track inventory more accurately.
