Director, Global Research and Marketing
Diamond V
Traceability is an important concern for manufacturers around the world. Given the rising importance of food safety across the supply chain, the importance of automated systems to enable manufacturers to efficiently track and trace product from source to end-user has become equally important.
Since 1943, Diamond V has been leading the industry in microbial-based fermentation research and technology innovation. All of our products are manufactured using our proprietary anaerobic fermentation technology to ensure consistent product quality and stability. The result is a unique, all-natural product that delivers positive responses in animal health and performance.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities were built with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP's) in mind, capitalizing on the latest technology to enhance product consistency, automation and control. Each facility holds the following certifications: Iowa Department of Agriculture Feed Manufacturer License, Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals Food Grade Manufacturing License, AFIA Safe Feed Safe Food, FCI HACCP certification, Dutch GMP-Plus (B2) certification, and APVMA GMP.

In The News Don't let your guard down against avian influenza By Eric Gingerich, DVM
Technical Services Specialist - Poultry
Diamond V Highly pathogenic avian influenza continues to rear its ugly head in various countries. Below are two recent reports of continued outbreaks that are smoldering or spreading. Both of these outbreaks started as low pathogenic strains that went undetected. They were allowed to cycle among several flocks and resulted in recombination of genes to create a highly pathogenic strain. Wild waterfowl carry these low pathogenic strains frequently in their digestive tracts without showing any clinical signs of the virus. Live bird markets can also serve as sources of virus carried on vehicles, people, and coops used for transport. Good biosecurity practices are required to prevent introductions of these low pathogenic viruses into our production facilities. The message from these experiences is to not allow low pathogenic infections to cycle by detecting them as quickly as possible. This means submissions of birds or samples to diagnostic labs in all cases of upper respiratory disease and/or unexplained egg production drops to determine if AI (avian influenza) is present . This passive surveillance is essential to stopping the types of high path outbreaks described below from occurring in the U.S. |
