The animal supplements and feed industry is growing exponentially, driven by the growing demand for high quality dairy and poultry products. As consumers become more conscious about their nutrition and inclined towards consuming healthy foods rich in fiber, protein and calcium, the demand for more nutrition rich poultry and dairy has increased significantly. This in turn has impacted the demand for quality feed supplements that can improve the quality of the finished products.
However, feed manufacturers face challenges in terms of finding the right source for manufacturing the supplements. Moreover, irregularity of delivery times causes an obstruction as animals do not get the right nutrition at the right time. Additionally, pricing poses another challenge as multiple supplements and their cost of transport cause the prices to rise significantly which is further hampered by the inconsistency in quality of products by certain manufacturers, causing feed factories to continually find new manufacturers. To address all these challenges, RK Phosphates, established in 2000, stands as a one-stop solution for feed manufacturers by manufacturing a range of animal feed supplements for animal health.
Trailblazing the Industry
Under the leadership of Arpit Singhvi (recent recipient of the 40 under 40 award) along with the support of Mohit Singhvi, RK Phosphates, founded by Mr. R.K.

From the time the materials get dispatched from the plant to the time they reach the farmers, the company has inculcated an organized operation. Moreover, a range of innovative measures such as sending real-time updates and information to the customers including feed manufacturers or poultry farmers, allowing them to easily track where their orders are, what documents are attached with them, as well as the batch report of the material. Through this information, the customers already know the quality of the products reaching them.

Beyond this innovation, the company has also revamped its packaging every 2-3 years, making it stronger and more attractive. The changed packaging aims to increase the shelf life of the products, further enhancing their value. To achieve this, the firm has added a double packing system where the product bags are strengthened by an inner lining layer and stitched four times. Additionally, the new bags feature all the certifications that the company has garnered, reinforcing trust and transparency among customers.

This aspect was never given much importance in the industry and no one thought of making the packaging attractive and of high quality of material. Since we are the first one to try these new things in terms of the packaging, delivery and operations, it has allowed us to carve a distinctive niche for ourselves, and reach a place where our products are now sold on an advance only basis”, further adds Arpit.
