One of the UK’s leading supplier of high-quality protein ingredients to the pet food market, has this week announced it has completed a major upgrade project to its animal by-product (ABP) processing facility in Stoke Bardolph.
Site owner Sarval has invested in the creation of a purpose-built centre which will house dedicated processing equipment for specialist poultry products.
Two new processing lines will utilise the latest technology and are capable of handling in excess of 3,500 tonnes of poultry every week. Best in class processing techniques and controls will guarantee the highest possible end product quality, in order to match the demands from the world’s leading Pet Care providers.

The state-of-the-art facility will ensure the highest possible product standards, alongside product traceability and ethical practice systematic with a SARIA facility.”
