Food Safety, Traceability, & Quality Assurance

The Equity Feed mills are HACCP certified, ractopamine free, and utilize Beta Raven automation to ensure full manufacturing traceability. With two feed mill locations and ‘Approved Supplier’ program, we are able to manufacture or procure feeds for all species with minimal risk of contamination.  

The Equity Feed Team is actively involved in food safety, from the pellet mill operator to the Quality Assurance Analyst. Many touch points ensure the feed we produce is safe, traceable, and the highest quality. Ingredient testing focuses not only on nutrient value, but also mycotoxin presence and levels. Drug assays are ran to validate drug inclusions match ration specifications and mixer efficiency (CV) tests confirm mix consistency throughout a batch of feed. Pellet durability indexes are used to continually audit our pellet quality for our customers and their animals.

Biosecurity is top-of-mind for The Equity Feed Team. In addition to multiple sanitation and separation protocols within the mill, we offer Sal-Curb as a feed scrubber for any customer looking for in feed pathogen control. The biosecurity efforts do not stop with the mill. Our feed delivery drivers utilize FeedTrackur  which maximizes traceability through GPS delivery coordinates, electronic paperwork and reporting, and real-time sequence history. Upon delivery, customers receive real-time notifications confirming the Right Feed in the Right Bin at the Right Time. All drivers follow truck disinfectant and wash protocols as well as on-farm precautions to limit pathogen exposure and transfer.
