In 2013, Setareh Kian Birjand (SKB) company succeeded in operating one of the largest feed mills in our beloved country, Iran, producing various kinds of Animal, Poultry and Aqua feeds aiming at completing the integration system of producing chicken meat with the motto of “Healthy feed, Healthy animal, Healthy food, and Healthy man”. The Feed Mill Plant was built in an area of 40,000 square meters. We are cooperating with credible international companies and local experts to meet the demands of different sectors of the industry in and out of the country. Having operated the Jonoub Khorasan Breeder farms with the capacity of 226 thousand broiler breeders, different hatchery units capable of producing 36 million day-old chicks per annum, several broiler and layer experimental facilities with the capacity of 150 thousand birds, and more importantly the backing and support of 35 years experience of successful managers, we attempted to establish the SKB company producing 50 Metric tons of feed per hour aiming at revolutionising the economy and quality of Feed Industry. The SKB has taken advantage of the existence of experts and experienced specialists and skilled workers. As well, at SKB we have deployed the latest technologies and founded a reasonably modern lab that is equipped with NIR (Near Infrared). We have been striving to stay atop in the matter of producing high-quality feed to provide our customers with better performance, profitability, and satisfaction. The SKB intends to become one of the most trustworthy and reliable brands in the supply line of chicken meat and table egg observing the highest biosecurity in health and nutrition for poultry farmers. The power of this integration is not confined to 50 mt. per hour production of feed, rather we have storage for 40 thousand metric tons of all kinds of material. Through persistent supervision and quality monitoring across the board especially temperature, moisture, and ventilation that are controlled centrally (PLC), all sorts of microbial and chemical degeneration and contamination are prevented. This provides enough assurance for our customers of continuous production of quality products. Introduction and implementation of HACCP and GMP quality control have ensured a high-level consistency in the whole route of production right from receiving materials to the end of the line. The existence of NIR equipment makes it possible to control, determine and finally make a decision in regards to the quality of purchased raw materials in less than three minutes; also, the analysis of the products enables us to audit the compound feeds objectively and quickly. The technical team of the SKB in line with fulfilling our customers’ objectives and in aspiring to complete its chain of services considering all restricting factors.
