Product storage and shelf life: why handling instructions matter

Temperature excursions, relative humidity, light exposure, and seal integrity: preserving active potency from warehouse to feed mixer.

Protecting Product Potency During Warehouse Storage

Even the highest-specification premix, enzyme, or probiotic can lose activity if exposed to excessive heat and humidity.

Warehouse Best Practices

  • First-Expiry, First-Out (FEFO): Rotate inventory strictly by expiration date.
  • Resealing Partially Used Bags: Prevent moisture ingress and oxidation of hygroscopic additives.
  • Dedicated Cold-Chain Controls: Continuous temperature logging for biologicals and heat-sensitive actives.

FAUNEX believes that practical animal nutrition decisions must always be founded on verified biological mechanisms, realistic feeding conditions, and economic viability. We do not promote blanket solutions without accounting for farm-specific forage chemistry, biosecurity, water quality, and environmental variables.
