The Proof is in the Testing at PotashCorp:
Quality Ingredients Ensure Quality Poultry Feed

When it comes to producing animal feed, quality ingredients are key to healthy animals and maximum profits.
At this year's International Poultry & Egg Expo in Atlanta, Georgia several of PCS Sales' top customers discussed why they prefer PCS Feed Sales as their supplier of phosphorus products.
"Feed phosphates are very important to feed formulations because you have to have a balance in nutrients, and the higher quality the ingredients, the better your results," said Juan Jaramillo, Technical Director for CIPA in Colombia.
"When you talk about quality, price or a uniformly sized product, you work with PCS," said Eduardo Garcia, Procesadora Avicola CxA, of the Dominican Republic.
How can they be so sure?
Because PotashCorp tests its products ? and competitors' products ? using the most reliable indicator of biological value: The 21-day chick assay. These studies involve three-week independent lab trials measuring all the key factors of growth response: feed conversion, weight gain and bone mineralization.
Which is why PCS Sales customers can be sure PotashCorp is producing the industry's most bio-available feed phosphate.
"Our products not only lead the industry in meeting or exceeding label guarantees, but they are also more bio-available than any other inorganic phosphate source on the market," said PCS Feed's Technical Manager Dr. Dewey Barnes. "That's good for monogastric animals like chickens and pigs because the more phosphate they absorb, the more bone and muscle mass they build."
Although quality ingredients are obviously highly regarded by feed formulators, traceability and accountability are important factors as well. Now more than ever, reliable products from a trusted source are very important to those involved in animal production.
"We are confident that PCS is a responsible partner that provides us with secure ingredients," said Juan Soto, the Chief Financial Officer of Somex in Colombia.
"We are calcium phosphate producers, and PCS is an important supplier of black sulfuric acid: It's a cornerstone raw material in our products," said Ramon Isla, owner of Tecamac Industrial, S.A. de C.V. of Mexico. "We count on PCS to provide us with a safe product, and we feel we can rely on them to back up their products."

"Our relationship with PCS is more than buyer and supplier; we are business associates," said Francisco Valdes Basaguren, CEO of HI-FOS, S.A. de C.V. "We sell feed to big animal producers ? Tyson, Pilgrim ? and we know we get the same quality product from all of PCS' feed operations," Basaguren said. "We have the same standards for animal feed formulations in Mexico as in the United States, and the same environmental regulations, and PCS is able to provide us with product information that we share with the final customer."
"With the emphasis on Safe Feed/Safe Food initiatives in the United States as well as several other countries, everyone in animal production today has to be confident about their supply chain," said Barnes. "PCS Sales can offer its customers the peace of mind that comes with dealing with a partner that takes these Safe Feed/Safe Food efforts very seriously."
Through rigorous product testing and documentation, PotashCorp is able to show to its customers, time and again, that it provides safe, uniform and highly bioavailable phosphorus products.
