Feed supply chain — origin to feeder

Feed procurement fails at the joints — origin to port, port to silo, silo to mill, mill to feeder. Each transition is a cost, quality and biosecurity event. This is the map of the whole chain.

  • Origin to port
  • Ocean & discharge
  • Storage & biosecurity

Visual scope of procurement · supply chain

Origin to load port

Truck or rail from processor to port silo. Weight tickets, cleanliness certificates, transit time SLA in the supplier contract.

Ocean freight

Discharge & port storage

Bulk terminal capacity, ship-to-truck or ship-to-silo, cross-contamination protocols, port sampling. Book capacity 8+ weeks ahead in peak season.

Inland transport & storage

Silo hygiene, insect and rodent control, moisture management (target <13% for cereals). Fumigation calendar with phosphine or alternatives.

Mill intake

NIR at intake, magnet + sieve, dedicated bins by ingredient to preserve traceability.
