Support Services

Laboratory Services

Two laboratories provide services to Prestage's production divisions.  They conduct daily analyses to ensure the quality of the animals produced.

The feed laboratory conducts a variety of tests on the feed ingredients used and the feeds produced for the animals.

Prestage's diagnostic laboratory conducts bacteriology analysis on turkeys and swine to provide immediate treatment options.  Serology and parasitology testing is also provided for the turkeys.

Veterinary Services

Veterinarians specializing in the treatment of pork and poultry are on staff to assist in optimizing the animals growth potential.

General Administration and Accounting

Administrative and accounting services are provided to the meat production divisions of Prestage Farms.  Purchasers acquire over 365,000 bushels of corn, 5,000 tons of soybean meal, and 175,000 bushels of wheat weekly to produce the feed needed for the animals.  The sale and movement of the animals is coordinated centrally to ensure just-in-time scheduling and execution.  Administrative and accounting employees are available to grower families, vendors, customers, and other employees for information and assistance.  Payments are made weekly to grower families, employees, and vendors; turkey flock and swine herd sales information is maintained; and inventory items are accounted for; all to ultimately produce the company's financial statements.

Warehouse 

Central purchasing and inventory management is provided through warehouse facilities.  High-volume purchases afford price negotiation and benefit Prestage Farms as well as its contract grower families.

General Maintenance

Maintenance specialists provide upkeep for the many company facilities.  Twenty-four hour response is provided to maintain the feed mills, the turkey and swine farm locations, the office facilities, and hatchery, just to name a few.  Maintenance workers specializing in plumbing, electrical work, hydraulics, and welding and fabrication work tirelessly to keep things working properly.

Transportation Maintenance

Transportation staff work around the clock to maintain the Prestage Farms fleet and provide 24-hour emergency response service.  Mechanics maintain over 500 pieces of transportation equipment.  The Prestage Farms fleet logs over seven million miles each year.
