CERTIFICATIONS


Our products have the most demanding and exhaustive quality certifications on the market. We have invested a lot of work and economic effort in adapting our manufacturing, documentation and traceability processes in order to obtain these certifications.

It is important to highlight that for a quality certificate to really protect a product, the certificate must have been issued by the certifying company auditing the manufacturing and production process. It is increasingly common for companies that manufacture animal feed products to obtain a certificate only to transport, store or resell products. previously certified, (therefore the products that they themselves manufacture would not be certified) and yet they claim that their own products are certified based on the certification of intermediary that they hold

The conscious and quality-conscious customer should therefore see and analyze these certificates that the producers claim to possess, to verify if the manufacturing or production process is actually audited. The audit and scrutiny of the manufacturing process is the fundamental difference that guarantees that a product has passed the most exhaustive control, safety and quality standards, and that said processes have been adapted to the best and most innocuous manufacturing technique available today. .

Specifically, for the certification GMP+, only class B1 and B2 certificates audit and certify the manufacture of products for animal feed, while those of class B3 are from mere intermediaries, certifying that the transport and storage of the products are correct.
