Quality is what sets us apart

Highest quality MBM for feed, pet food and fertilizer

Own laboratory

FAPRO has its own quality control testing lab for MBM intended for (aqua)feed, pet food and fertilizer. The rendered fat for biofuel is also continuously monitored by in-house specialists. This enables us to:

  • quicker results, after 6 to 8 hours
  • have immediate results on hand
  • take immediate action for problem prevention and solutions

 

Constant quality control

DNA

  • Real time testing via PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique;
  • Detection of residual pig DNA;
  • Absence of African Swine Fever.

Microbiological

  • Via EPM technology (Enrichment and Plating Method);
  • Detection of salmonella + E coli bacteria.

Protein

  • Via NIR technology (Near-InfraRed Analysis);
  • Measuring content percentages of protein, fat, ash, moisture and nitrogen.
