Veterinary & Animal Feed

Veterinary and pet products, animal feed and seed

Steritech’s sterilisation and decontamination processes do not just make products safer for humans, but they also help protect animals.  Using irradiation, EtO and heat treatment, we treat a range of products used for domestic pets (including veterinary products and pet food supplies) as well as animal feed used in the agriculture sector.  We work with pet supplies manufacturers and importers to ensure their products are safe for Australian household pets.

In the agriculture sector, the risk of microbiological contamination in cereals and grains is high and contaminated feed is potentially very damaging for animal health.  Steritech’s treatments can be used to eliminate or control pests and the microbiological contamination of cereals and other grains.  

Irradiation and heat treatment can also be used to devitalise seeds to ensure unwanted seeds do not germinate in the field.  This is particularly useful in the production pest controls, such as in-field mouse bait, and helps suppliers meet biosecurity and quarantine requirements when trading products between states in Australia or exporting overseas.
