The approach of Naz Dasht Agricultural Company in the field of food products and processed foods is focused on maintaining the supply chain. Accordingly, nearly half of the livestock feed requirements are supplied using the company’s own agricultural and production outputs.
To ensure the quality of livestock feed, the company’s experts conduct daily sampling and various tests based on predefined standard parameters to evaluate nutritional standards and ensure the health and quality of the feed.
In line with a customer-oriented approach, the quality of the final product is of utmost importance. Therefore, livestock hygiene is carefully inspected on a daily basis prior to each milking operation, taking all relevant factors into consideration. The produced milk, after undergoing thorough laboratory analyses with the aim of supplying milk that is completely healthy, hygienic, and free from any contamination, is delivered to major dairy factories across the country as well as other qualified applicants.
