Quality Assurance
The foundation supporting Witmer’s successful production of consistent, quality products is our
commitment to conform to the company’s nutritional and physical specifications of all products sold or
delivered. A prevention based approach with focus on critical control points throughout our process is
the driving force behind Witmer’s quality assurance. Critical control points within the manufacturing
process include testing ingredients for mycotoxins, scale certification, formula verification,
particle size analysis, mixer coefficient of variation testing, and finished feed moisture content.
Third party co-lab analysis of products is also used as a calibration tool.
At Witmer’s Feed and Grain, quality begins with the development of quality ingredient specifications.
We inventory over 200 ingredients through our approved supplier program. Products which are utilized
have gone through rigorous science, merit-based reviews, and are approved by our Veterinarian and
Nutritionists. While many feeds are sold on specifications alone, Witmer’s guarantees 100% the
ingredients and the specification of the feeds for the well-being of your livestock. Your cows will
notice the improvement.
