Our Modern Feed Mill
At Aytekin Poultry we produce high-quality, nutritionally balanced compound feed tailored to the needs of our flocks in our own feed mill, which has a capacity of 45 tonnes. Thanks to this integrated facility, we supply our poultry operations with a continuous flow of quality feed.
Our mill is equipped with modern technology, and every process from raw material intake to finished product despatch is carefully controlled to the highest quality standards. The nutritional value of our feed is analysed regularly through laboratory testing, supporting continuous improvement.
Our Feed Production Process
Raw Material Sourcing and Inspection
Every feed raw material we use is carefully selected and put through rigorous quality control procedures. The physical and chemical properties of each ingredient, along with its moisture content and levels of toxic substances, are verified in our laboratories.
Cleaning and Sieving
Raw materials arriving at the mill are first cleaned and sieved to remove any foreign matter. This raises ingredient quality and prepares the material for the next stage of production.
Grinding
The cleaned ingredients are then ground to a particle size suited to the digestive systems of the birds. The degree of grinding is optimised according to the feed formulation and the target animal group.
Mixing and Formulation
The ground ingredients are blended in computer-controlled automatic mixing systems, dosed precisely according to our proprietary formulations. Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, together with any required additives, are also introduced at this stage.
Pelleting and Cooling
The mixed feed is compressed in pellet presses to form pellets. This process makes the feed easier to digest and reduces feed wastage. The hot pellets are then brought down to their optimum temperature in the cooling tower.
Bagging and Storage
The finished feed is bagged by automatic filling systems or stored in bulk. Each batch is labelled with details such as the production date, composition and batch number, then stored under appropriate conditions and made ready for dispatch.
