Activities and Quality
Control and monitoring
Our agricultural technicians monitor the process of growth from the field to the factory, establishing the optimal times for harvesting and gathering. They advise farmers of any pesticide treatments or fertilization necessary.
Sample analysis
When we receive the alfalfa to the factory, it is weighed and we take samples for analysing. Firstly, a classification of product and quality is performed visually and then instruments such as drying ovens and NIR gauges are used to reliably obtain the moisture content and the amount of protein. These parameters will be essential before beginning the manufacturing process, as well as the classification according to quality and batches.
Labelling and traceability
Once the final product comes out of the baler, moisture is measured again to verify the drying was successful and a label identifying the company, the quality, and the batch. As this way it is possible to control at all times the traceability and to comply with food safety regulations
Profopal develops the following R&D project
TICCamara Project
Profopal, located in Fuentes de Nava (Palencia), is a company dedicated to processing, marketing and selling of fodder.
Since we began in 2003, we have produced all kinds of fodder: alfalfa, oat, ryegrass and so on. Not only in bales, but also in pellet format.
Profopal has two modern dehydrated fodder lines with high production capacity. Adding to this, we also have a pellet granulation line with three granulators in series.
Our spacious facilities allow us to classify the product carefully, according to the level of quality, before transforming and finalizing the product.
We focus on the best quality fodder, essential feed in the ruminant’s diet, in order to obtain vegetable protein, the key to achieving the highest productivity.
Quality control is one of the
key pillars of work
