Fairview Mills also understands that it's often cheaper to store pet food and pet ingredients in bags than to transport them as loose, bulk products. Fairview Mills can transload and bag your loose bulk pet food ingredients. It's much easier to move your products from raw material to ready-to-use pet foods. For example, you can send your whole corn to us and we will unload, mill, and package it as you require. Now your raw corn is ready for the next stage in the pet food industry.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
Packaging pet food ingredients in bags or tins is a decision that must be made. Each pet food ingredient is tested for moisture, nutrient loss, and other metrics in our analytical lab. After that, we vigorously sift the ingredients, to eliminate as much chaff or dust 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. When you can be sure that a fifty-pound bag of corngluten is indeed fifty pounds, it will help you track inventory more accurately.
