Feed quality assurance — from sampling to complaint

Every buyer eventually receives an off-spec load. The mature ones have already written the process for detecting, quantifying, escalating and recovering. This is that process.

Sampling

Sealed composite sample at loading + at discharge, split into three (buyer retain, seller retain, umpire lab). No sample = no complaint.

Third-party lab

Eurofins, SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek — pre-agreed in the contract. NIR at intake for real-time screening; wet chemistry for disputes and mycotoxins.

Mycotoxin control

Aflatoxin, DON, zearalenone, ochratoxin, fumonisin panel on every corn/wheat/DDGS cargo. Regional risk maps drive frequency for other ingredients.

Tolerance clauses

Price adjustment table for CP/moisture/energy deviations; rejection thresholds; free-fatty-acid and peroxide limits for oils; salmonella limit for animal proteins.

Complaint handling

Written notice within 7 days of discharge with sealed umpire sample; joint investigation; recovery via price adjustment or replacement — not chargeback.

FAQ

Common questions

Comment Feed Quality Assurance s’applique-t-il à mon programme d’achats ?

Nous adaptons le cadre à votre volume annuel, au nombre de fournisseurs, aux marchés d’origine et aux Incoterms préférés. La première réunion définit les KPI, le calendrier et les fournisseurs cibles.

Combien de temps avant de constater des économies ?

Les premiers benchmarks arrivent en 2–3 semaines ; les économies contractuelles pérennes se consolident généralement entre le T1 et le T2 après adoption d’une RFQ structurée.

Comment garantissez-vous qualité et traçabilité ?

Nous exigeons GMP+/FAMI-QS, un COA par lot, un contrôle mycotoxines et un audit documentaire avant d’homologuer tout fournisseur.

Accompagnez-vous le financement et les Incoterms ?

Oui — LC, assurance-crédit, ECA et structuration CIF/CFR/DAP selon la destination, sous réserve d’approbation des banques et assureurs.
