Freeze Dryer machines are different than dehydrators. They remove the water (making the processed product lighter in weight, but also take the temperature down to -400°F wich kills bacteria while maintaining the intergrity of the product chemical structure. Freeze Dried Foods can have a 20 year shelf life, almost 10 times that of dehydrated food.

Adding a freeze dryer to your quail farm allows you to manufacture not only pet treats like a dehydrator, but also pet food. High Quality freeze dryer machines are expensive, but they pay forthemselves in many ways. You can share the cost of a dehydrator with other local members of the USQuail Cooperative and expand your product offering (See US Quail for our plan for a USQuail Gun Dog Kibble topper product!). You can also offer to freeze dry food for your neighbors or develop a USQC Program (Cool Quail Freeze Dryer rack rental), or band together and build a compete 12' FDA Licensed USQuail Mobile Processing trailer that can be rented and moved between co-op members. Think BIG... It's Cool!
Contact USQC@USQuail.com to see how you can scale your quail business beyond the farm!
