Gold Sustaining Member Profiles
Responsibility for safe, healthy, and sustainable food begins on the farm
and continues throughout the food supply chain all the way to the consumer.
Food companies count on Diamond V to solve food safety issues through natural nutritional health technologies used in all types of animal protein production.
Customers rely on our research-proven products to optimize food safety
during the "pre-harvest" stages of animal production. Diamond V Original XPC™
carries a pending patent for use in pre-harvest food safety programs.
Reducing pathogens like Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli
in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals helps to reduce the risk of contamination in food processing, which also reduces
associated regulatory concerns. Reduced risk in processing means safer food products in the wholesale and consumer
food supply and less chance of a food recall.
More than 125 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles support
Diamond V's natural, non-antibiotic solutions to promote immunity, health,
and performance of poultry, pigs, dairy and beef cattle, aquaculture species,
and other food animals.
