FEED MANUFACTURING

State-of-the-Art Pelleting and Extrusion

Leverage our 85,000 sq ft, fully automated, FSMA-compliant mill to produce your proprietary feed formulas.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Commercial Scale Without the Capital Expense

Building and maintaining a modern feed mill requires tens of millions of dollars in capital expenditure, plus the massive overhead of staffing, maintenance, and regulatory compliance. Melick Aquafeeds offers comprehensive Toll Milling services, allowing large integrators and specialty brands to utilize our world-class manufacturing facility to produce their proprietary formulas.

Our facility is highly automated, capable of producing over 500 tons of feed per day. We feature dedicated lines for standard pelleting (with advanced steam conditioning) and high-pressure twin-screw extrusion for aquaculture and specialty feeds. Our quality assurance laboratory tests inbound ingredients and outbound finished feed in real-time using NIR technology, ensuring every batch meets your exact specifications.

Scale & Capacity

With a 500+ ton daily capacity and robust grain storage infrastructure, we can seamlessly handle massive volume requirements for regional integrators.

Strict QA / QC

Our facility operates under full FSMA compliance. We utilize NIR technology to scan inbound corn and soy for moisture and protein, rejecting sub-standard loads.

Advanced Tech

We utilize automated micro-ingredient dosing to ensure synthetic amino acids and medications are blended with absolute precision, eliminating human error.

TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE

Biosecurity and FSMA Compliance

In the modern agricultural supply chain, feed safety is animal safety. Our entire facility was designed with biosecurity and FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) compliance as the primary directives. We utilize a strict "forward-flow" manufacturing process to prevent raw, unprocessed ingredients from ever coming into contact with cooked, finished feed. For our extrusion lines, the high heat and pressure act as a critical control point, effectively sterilizing the feed and eliminating pathogens like Salmonella. Furthermore, our sequencing and flushing protocols guarantee that medications used in one batch do not cross-contaminate the next, ensuring strict adherence to FDA and VFD regulations.
