Feed Ingredient Inspection in Turkey
Oilseed meals, milling by-products and feed grains move through Turkish crushers, mills and ports in large volumes. Protein, fibre, moisture and mycotoxins decide the price, and sampling decides the result.
Feed Ingredients we inspect
Each guide covers regions, season, quality parameters, sampling, laboratory testing, risks and the pre-shipment procedure.
Sunflower Meal
Turkish crushers in Thrace and elsewhere produce sunflower meal from both domestic and imported seed.
Soybean Meal
Turkey crushes mainly imported soybeans and also imports soybean meal for its feed industry.
Cottonseed Meal
Cottonseed meal is a by-product of crushing in Turkey's cotton regions.
Wheat Bran
Turkey's large flour milling industry produces significant volumes of wheat bran and middlings, traded as loose bran or pellets.
Corn Gluten Feed
Corn wet milling plants in Turkey produce corn gluten feed and corn gluten meal as by-products of starch and sweetener production.
DDGS
Distillers dried grains with solubles are used in Turkish ruminant and poultry feed.
Feed Grains
Feed wheat, barley and corn move through Turkish silos and ports for domestic mills and regional trade.
Production across Turkey
Feed Ingredients in this guide come from 16 provinces across 5 geographic regions. We plan inspector travel around the harvest calendar.
Coverage across TurkeyHow we sample and inspect
Sampling follows GAFTA or FOSFA rules or the contract, drawing increments from the moving stream during loading or from bags across the lot. Composite samples are divided into sealed sets for analysis, seller, buyer and arbitration.
- Agree contract specification, tolerances and sampling rules
- Inspect storage and the means of transport
- Draw increments during loading and build composite samples
- Examine colour, odour, texture, foreign matter and insects
- Measure moisture on site
- Send samples for protein, fat, fibre, ash and mycotoxins
- Supervise weighing, draft survey or weighbridge records
- Issue quality and weight reports
