Animal Nutrition
Feed
production includes implementing dosage, grinding,
mixing and conditioning raw materials according to different
formulas developed by our nutritionists.
In order to answer increasing demand, COOPERL HUNAUDAYE
has four production sites in the west of France.
Nutrition
Department: Research and
Development, Formulation, Laboratory
COOPERL HUNAUDAYE
has its own team of
nutritionists.
The
team stays up to date with new research ideas and practices,
studies concerning new feed formulations, and works in close
collaboration with Research Institutes and Firms.
The laboratory tests around 300 samples each day, including:
• raw materials, and
• finished products
The Purchasing Department guarantees that production plants
are adequately supplied in raw materials year round.
Raw materials used by the plants are essentially grains and grain
based products, oilcakes (ex: Colza and sunflower oilcakes)
and protein rich products (ex: peas).
• Raw Materials check at receipt
All raw material deliveries undergo systematic checks
on different levels:
- Actual raw materials received are checked for accuracy
with the orders placed.
- Sensory checks (colour, odour, appearance …) and analytical
checks (ex: humidity analysis, PS … with the most up to date system) of raw
materials by receiving.
- Chemical analysis by our internal laboratory (samples are saved
for four months).
