Storage conditions
- Cool and dry: ideally below 25 °C with low humidity.
- Away from direct sunlight.
- On pallets, away from walls and floor.
- Protected against rodents and insects.
FIFO and expiry dates
The first feed in should be the first used. Recording each lot’s receipt and expiry dates lets you spot ageing feed in time.
Plan stock levels
Too little stock means urgent, expensive purchases; too much means the risk of stale feed. Time your orders from daily consumption and lead time.
