Reliability for pet food producers

For pet food producers, the quality of raw materials is of crucial importance. Not only the composition of ingredients, but above all the way they are processed determines the nutritional value, safety and consistency of the final product. At Van Tuijl Feed Enrichment, this process is central. With more than sixty years of experience in raw material processing for animal nutrition, Van Tuijl provides a reliable foundation for high-quality pet food applications in the feed production.

Raw material selection

The production process begins with carefully selected plant-based raw materials that meet strict quality standards. Van Tuijl monitors origin, composition, and safety to ensure a stable foundation for further processing.

Each batch is assessed for moisture, protein, purity, and nutritional value, allowing pet food producers to rely on consistent and reproducible raw material quality.

Controlled processing: from crushing to extrusion

After selection, a carefully controlled production process follows. Van Tuijl operates modern facilities for crushing, grinding and fine milling, sieving, drying, extruding, mixing and pelleting raw materials. Each step contributes to the final functionality of the ingredient.

Fine milling to very small particle sizes is crucial for pet food. A uniform particle size improves digestibility and contributes to a consistent structure of kibbles or snacks.

Extrusion plays an important role in improving microbiological safety and nutrient availability. Through heat and pressure, antinutritional factors are reduced, resulting in a stable product suitable for high-quality pet food applications.

Mixing based on customer-specific formulations is also carried out with great precision. This makes it possible to create specific compositions that meet the nutritional needs of different animal categories, such as dogs or cats at various life stages.

Quality assurance and certification

Quality does not end with the production process. Van Tuijl operates according to strict quality and safety standards and is GMP+ certified. This means that all processes comply with established requirements for food safety, traceability and risk management.

Through fixed protocols and continuous monitoring, every production process is controlled. From incoming raw materials to the final product, everything is registered and documented. This transparency is essential for pet food producers who want to substantiate their own quality claims and comply with regulations within the pet food sector.

Flexibility and customisation

Although processes are highly standardized, Van Tuijl offers room for customization. Raw materials can be processed according to customer-specific formulations. Packaging formats such as bulk, big bags or bags are also tailored to logistical requirements.

This combination of flexibility and strict quality control enables pet food producers to develop innovative products without compromising safety or reliability.
