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. It is much easier to transport your products from raw product to ready to use pet food. For example, send us whole corn. We will unload it and mill it. Then, we'll package it in the way you want. Your raw corn will now be ready for the next phase in the petfood processing industry.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
It is important to verify that the packaging of your pet food ingredients in bags, trays and other containers is accurate and quality-controlled. To ensure that your pet food ingredients are properly packaged, we run each product through our analytics laboratory to check for moisture, nutrients, and other metrics. We then sift through your ingredients vigorously to remove as much dust and chaff as possible. This process improves the quality of your pet foods ingredients. However, it also ensures that fifty-pound bags are filled with your product. When you can be sure that a fifty-pound bag of corngluten is indeed fifty pounds, it will help you track inventory more accurately.
