Grain feed milling

Feed Milling

Feed millers are faced with the difficult task of producing to the same specifications week after week and maintaining equivalent or better profitability, while raw materials and their prices are constantly changing. The only way to succeed is to have complete knowledge of your raw materials and your process. We have the tools for compositional analysis of ingredients and finished feeds to help improve your profitability.

  • Detect out-of-spec shipments before they are unloaded
  • Identify and maximize use of higher value grain
  • Optimize drying to maximize moisture content and reduce energy use
  • Maximize feed value and minimize use of supplements by analyzing actual amino acid content
  • Verify the quality of your finished products before bagging & shipping
  • Ensure product safety by tesing for mycotoxins in grain at in-take and finished feeds prior to load-out
