Pet Food Blending J-Six Enterprises
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 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. Our team will load it, mill it, then package it according to your specifications. The next step in pet food processing is now that your raw corn has been processed.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
You want to ensure that your pet food ingredients are packaged in bags or totes. 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.
