THE ANIMAL FEED INDUSTRY UTILISES BY-PRODUCTS FROM THE MILLING, OIL AND FISHING INDUSTRIES. THIS MAKES IT VITAL THAT SOUND QUALITY CONTROL BE MAINTAINED. EPOL THEREFORE HOUSES A LABORATORY AT EACH OF ITS MILLS. THERE IS ALSO A CENTRAL REFERENCE LABORATORY IN HAMMARSDALE, WHERE ENERGY AND PROTEIN DIGESTIBILITY TESTS AND ANALYSES FOR MYCOTOXIN CONTAMINATION ARE ROUTINELY CONDUCTED.
AS EPOL ENJOYS STRONG LINKS WITH OUR SUPPLIERS, WE ALSO RUN REGULAR TRIALS WITH THEM TO MEASURE THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
RESEARCH TRIALS ARE CONDUCTED BY A FULLTIME RESEARCH NUTRITIONIST. THESE ARE MAINLY UNDERTAKEN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL, WITH SOME DONE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH AND THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH COUNCIL.
WE ALSO CONDUCT NUMEROUS ON-FARM AND COMMERCIAL TRIALS IN COOPERATION WITH CUSTOMERS.EPOL THEREFORE MAINTAINS CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUSTOMERS THROUGH EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.
