The Certified Animal Feed, provides a safe animal feed for animals which benefits both the consumer and the environment. We have worked together to establish this brand that guarantees traceability, the origin of the raw materials and safely in the entire manufacturing process.

Together we have consolidated this brand, which guarantees traceability, origin of raw materials and safety in all manufacturing processes.
