Premier Nutrition was founded and is operated by some of the World's leading Nutritionists. We provide NUTRITION INFORMATION to manufacturers of animal food. To get the information, customers buy MICRO INGREDIENTS individually, or premixed at our FOOD SAFE factories.

We are totally flexible in our relationships with customers and below is a list of ways in which we work. Which suits your business best?

MICRO INGREDIENT PARTNERSHIP

Procurement

We work in partnership with some of the World's largest producers of livestock feeds and pet foods, acting as their advisers on procurement of strategically important micro ingredients. Individually, micro ingredients represent a minor cost in a typical tonne of feed. Collectively and over time, however, the expenditure is significant and getting this area of business right can provide an important competitive advantage and make the difference.

Premier Nutrition provides totally independent advice and this means you get an unbiased appraisal of all and every available source of all and every micro ingredient used in animal and pet food. This is a core requirement of our business and means that customers can rest assured that products sourced through Premier Nutrition provide the best value for money and are guaranteed in quality.

Addition

Buying at the right price over the long-term is one aspect of getting a competitive advantage in micro ingredients. Just as important is knowledge about quality of sources, handling characteristics, stability, nutritional requirements, allowances and mechanical means of addition. We have expertise in all aspects of micro ingredient addition and are able to advise customers on finding the optimum solution for their factory. The value of this service has been proved time and again from multi-national businesses through to on-farm feed operations.

NUTRITION PARTNERSHIP

Formulation

Producing feed formulations that meet your market requirements is fundamental to all animal food manufacturers. Essential to any feed formulation is a precise understanding of the feeding value of the ingredients used. Only with such knowledge can formulations be truly best cost and consistency of animal performance achieved:

Premier Atlas

Premier Atlas is our own publication (ISBN 0-9542081-0) that summarises the best information available worldwide today and is increasingly being used by major customers throughout Europe and North America. It is updated regularly and is becoming well established as the gold standard by which other matrices are judged.

Product Development and Quality Control

The end users of our products are animals. We are committed to delivering wholesome, safe, effective products that meet the animal's productive needs whilst maintaining its health and welfare needs. We constantly monitor nutrition research publications and keep in close touch with leading research establishments in order to ensure our customers receive news on all the latest developments. See our News section for this week's articles and consider applying to register to access our extensive content of technical reviews and articles.

We work with our customers to develop new product features that will appeal to their local market conditions and give them unique selling advantages over their competition. We provide confidential appraisals of feed additives; we test their claims and advise on the merits of alternatives. This differentiates Premier Nutrition from all other Premix companies and gives customers the security of unbiased, independent advice.

Large livestock producers who produce their own feed or who buy in from third party manufacturers use our services to ensure that quality and consistency of formulations is achieved no matter where the site of manufacture. In these situations we act as the Nutrition consultant whose aim is to ensure that the livestock producer receives value and quality while the manufacturer receives a fair deal for producing the required feed.

FOOD SAFETY

Premier Nutrition is founded on FOOD SAFETY. Our factories lead the World in hygiene and quality management. This experience is available to customers through consultancy. Food scares are a feature of the Industry as public concerns are fuelled by an often hysterical and uninformed media. We should be your first source of information when you need to know the latest information of Food Safety issues. Whether it's genetically modified food, dioxin contamination, pesticide residues, or any of the other topics that can hit the media at any time, we maintain a strong information resource to keep you aware of the scientific facts of the matter.
