Our 300kg trial order arrived with batch numbers missing from two inner bags, which created a temporary hold during our DAFF border inspection. I contacted the supplier immediately — they provided the correct batch documentation electronically within four hours, and the shipment cleared without rejection. Nutritional analysis was accurate: protein 64.0%, moisture 7.5%, ash 5.8%. The product itself performed well in our 12,000-hen trial at 7% inclusion. The supplier acknowledged the labeling oversight and confirmed corrected packaging procedures for future orders. Willing to reorder given their responsiveness.
