Quality

From incoming raw material to released finished goods, Hortum connects process control, laboratory verification and clear batch documentation for professional feed manufacturers.

Control does not begin in the laboratory

Reliable ingredients depend on decisions made throughout the supply chain. That is why quality starts with raw-material qualification and continues through production, testing, release and dispatch. The exact control plan is matched to the ingredient, its intended application and the documentation agreed with the customer.

One batch, a complete path to release

Each stage adds a documented control point before finished goods enter the customer’s supply chain.

1. Supplier and raw material qualification – product identity, origin and agreed requirements are reviewed before intake.
2. Incoming material inspection – condition, conformity and supplied documentation are checked on receipt.
3. Process monitoring – production parameters and the route of each defined batch are recorded.
4. Laboratory testing – relevant nutritional, microbiological and contaminant parameters are verified.
5. Batch release – the finished lot is assessed against the agreed product specification.
6. Traceable dispatch – released goods retain their batch identity through packing and delivery.

A clear quality record for every released lot

The panel below shows how a customer-facing batch summary can present essential identification, production and release information. Final fields will be aligned with Hortum’s operating procedures. Example data shown for visualisation purposes.

Testing selected for the product and risk

Analytical scope depends on the ingredient, legal requirements, risk assessment and the individual customer programme.

• Moisture – stability and storage
• Crude protein – nutritional profile
• Crude fibre – fibre characteristics
• Crude fat – energy contribution
• Crude ash – mineral residue
• Microbiology – product safety
• Contaminants – risk-based testing
• Patulin – for relevant apple products

Information your technical team can use

Documentation is made available according to the product, batch and agreed commercial programme.

• Product specification
• Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
• Product information
• Declaration of origin
• GMO declaration, where applicable
• Additional test reports, as agreed

From source to shipment

A continuous batch identity links the received raw material to processing records, finished-product control and dispatched packaging.

1. Raw material – supplier and intake
2. Production – process records
3. Finished lot – testing and release
4. Delivery – pack and dispatch

Certifications and standards

This section is intentionally prepared without unconfirmed certification claims. Once the applicable certificates for Hortum sp. z o.o. and the Rembertów plant are confirmed, their names, scope and current documents will be published here.
