With the growth of the poultry industry all over the world and the increasing need for feed oils, Erim Arıkan, the founder of Izmir-based Erim Arıkan Oil Food and Construction Inc., one of Turkey’s leading companies in this field, in the sector continue to make an impact.
Erim Arıkan, the founder of Erim Arıkan Oil Food and Construction Inc., said that they produce fodder vegetable acid oil for animals in their factories in İzmir and Gaziantep: “With the growth of the livestock sector in Turkey with each passing day, the need for feedstuffs has increased. We contribute to the development of more than 40 million chickens every year with the feed vegetable acid oil that we produce more than 15 thousand tons per year in our feed oil production factories located in İzmir and Nizip district of Gaziantep. The acid oils we produce are added to the poultry feed at a rate of 5 percent and provide energy to the chicken.”
WHEN THE CHICKEN EATS QUALITY FEED, WE CONSUME QUALITY MEAT AND EGGS
For healthier poultry meat and egg consumption, high-protein oils added to poultry feed are of great importance as they provide a positive momentum for public health. Arıkan explained how the oil they produced was obtained as follows: “It collects ‘soapstock’, which is a non-hazardous waste obtained during the refining phase of sunflower oils, we go through our production process in accordance with the Communique on Oils to be Used in Feeds. This oil we obtain is added to the animal feed and given to the chicken. The more quality feed we feed the chicken, the more we consume chicken meat and eggs at the same quality level. The delicious eggs and chicken meat on our table are from quality feed; quality feed is obtained from quality oil.”
WE EXPORT FEED ACID OIL TO ISRAEL
Every year, Erim Arıkan Oil Food and Construction Inc. supplies more than 15 thousand tons of feed acid oil to leading chicken producers all over Turkey. Stating that they constantly renew their P&D (production and development) studies in order to ensure the development of the poultry industry and meet the demands of their customers, Arıkan underlined that they ensure the continuity of quality in the chicken industry in this context. ”We also contribute to the economy of our country by exceeding the borders of Turkey and meeting the demands of chicken producers in Israel.” Erim Arıkan stated that they aim to increase the number of countries they work abroad in the coming years.
