Cargill Philippines Inc.OCTOBER 11, 2011

VILLASIS, PANGASINAN

HISTORYFounded in 1865 by William W. Cargill when

he bought a grain flat house in Conover, IowaMajor businesses are trading, purchasing and

distributing grain and other agricultural commodities; trading in energy, steel and transport; the manufacture of livestock and feed; producing food ingredients such as starch and glucose syrup, vegetable oils and fats for application in processed foods and industrial use

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONCompound Feeds

Compound feeds are feedstuffs that are blended from a variety of raw materials and additives

Formulated according to the distinct needs of the target animal and are manufactured by feed compounders as meal type, pellets or crumbles

Can be complete nourishments or supplements that only provide additional micronutrients, such as minerals and vitamins

PRODUCTS

RAW MATERIALSCorn

Zea mays L., is a cereal crop, a member of the grass family

When used as fodder, its digestibility and palatability are higher when fermented or stored in silos for preservation

Rice hullsMilling the rice grains removes the outer

covering of the seed and produced, usually, as a waste; could be used as fuel and fodder

RAW MATERIALSMolasses

A viscous by-product of the processing of sugar cane, grapes or sugar beets into sugar

As animal feed, it is often combined with bagasse (sugar cane pulp) to form a dry feed with high sugar content

AdditivesUsually nutritional supplements intended to

enhance the nourishment provided by the basic raw materials or to impart what is missing from them

PACKING

MANUFACTURING PROCESSTesting

Sample of each delivered goods are taken to the central laboratory to test its quality and to assure that it meets the standards

StorageIngredients that have passed the specifications of

the specifications of the laboratory now enter the storage facility

First removed from their respective containers such as sacks and are laid in a flat, cemented surface before storing them into their silos (tanks)

MANUFACTURING PROCESSGrinding

Materials are transferred to the vertical grinder, where the material’s size is reduced to improve feed utilization

WeighingGround components are weighed for they

follow a certain ratio for a specific productMixing

Weighed components are blended together with the additives to form a uniform mixture

MANUFACTURING PROCESSConditioning

The pre-mixed material is cooked with the addition of liquids and steam, providing optimum retention and mixing time

Correct conditioning of a feed is a must to achieve a good product quality

Improves compressibility and binding properties of feed mixtures by using heat, moisture, and time

MANUFACTURING PROCESSCrumbling

Employed to control particle size reduction and increase nutrient and bulk density

Heat generated during compaction of the feed may also improve digestibility and destroy thermolabile toxic factors that naturally occur in some plant products

Permits the use of low density, bulky, unpalatable feeds that might not otherwise be practical to use

MANUFACTURING PROCESSCooling

Crumbling generates heat in order to bind the components, thus the resulting bulk has a high temperature

Temperature is lowered to room temperature to ensure proper storage and prolong shelf life

BaggingThe product is placed in its respective sack,

and passes through a machine that seals it by sewing the opening

QUALITY CONTROLSanitation practices

Vehicles used for this purpose must first pass through a shower in order to eliminate possible contaminants that might affect the product

Policies concerning proper hygiene are observed by the production team

Material testingOnly products which have met the standards

would be transformed into the finished merchandise

QUALITY CONTROLMachineries and equipment are regularly

checkedDone to assure that the procedures will run

smoothly to produce products of good qualityFinal product testing

Finished product is subjected to tests before releasing them to the market to ensure that these products have met the requirements and are suitable to be sold

UTILITIES/ENERGYElectricity

Electricity is used in the operation of most of the equipment in the plant, which in turn produce mechanical energy to carry out the necessary processes, courtesy of local supplier

PetroleumDiesel, is used for fuelling engines of certain

machineries that don’t require electricity

WASTE TREATMENT PLANFumes

Fumes produced are cleaned first by scrubbing the gas before its eventual release to the atmosphere

Solid waste and waste water Generated from the raw materials during processing Dispatched to an accredited facility for treatment

before disposalFeed rejects

Tested if they can still be reintroduced to the manufacturing procedure

If suitable, the feed is re-circulated; if not, it goes to the waste treatment facility

ROLEOF A CHEMICAL ENGINEERCentral Laboratory

Responsible for the initial testing of the raw materials and the final screening of the finished product

In charge of the formulation of the products marketed in the industry

Research & DevelopmentSeeks to enhance the products by searching

new ways of processing or alternative materials that can be used to create less expensive but just as beneficial commodities
