Quality Standards
We believe in providing products for our consumers that are safe, healthy and nutritious: something that we stand for.
At Opalex consistent and stringent mechanism of checks and balances throughout the chain of production ensures quality of the end-product. We adhere to the principles of quality checks through explicit and detailed guidelines and SOPs being implemented throughout the organisation.
Each of the raw materials we use in producing our poultry feed are 100% vegetarian and of the highest quality. For every arrival, the material is checked for moisture, Aflatoxins and fungus. All these are checked in our very own labs, situated within the mills themselves. Our labs are installed with NIR (Near infra-red spectroscopy) which analyses all the nutrient content in the raw material sample and compares it with the company’s standards.
BiosecurityAll security protocols are meticulously outlined to prevent the spread of diseases on our farms. Anyone entering a farm must undergo a standardized process that includes changing shoes, taking a shower, donning appropriate farm attire, and disinfecting their hands and feet. These measures help maintain cleanliness both within the farm premises and in the surrounding environment, creating a healthy habitat for our birds. As a result, we promote optimal bird performance, ensuring a high-quality product for our consumers
Day Old ChicksAll of our hatched chicks undergo careful grading based on various categories. Once graded, they are placed in our specialized vaccine sprayers to safeguard them against diseases. This process helps the chicks develop essential antibodies to combat viruses and certain bacteria. The graded chicks are then transported in climate-controlled trucks, ensuring their comfort and well-being throughout the journey.
Day Old ChicksOur highly skilled team of veterinarians follows established vaccination schedules to protect our birds from diseases. These treatments promote optimal health and performance in the flock. Additionally, we ensure that all medications used are completely safe for human health, with no adverse effects or associations.
Egg GradingAt our layer farms, we utilize the advanced MOBA egg grading machine, a cutting-edge technology designed to sort eggs by weight and quality. This system guarantees that only clean, healthy, and fresh eggs are sent to our customers, meeting their specific weight requirements. Any eggs that do not meet our standards are properly discarded and disposed of, ensuring the highest quality in our deliveries.
VentilationEach of our farms is designed with optimal ventilation to ensure that birds receive fresh air for their health and well-being. Our sheds are equipped with advanced tunnel ventilation systems, representing the latest technology for maintaining proper air pressure and flow. This creates a balanced environment that keeps the birds comfortable. Our veterinarians manage the ventilation systems according to established guidelines, which are essential for upholding our quality standards.
