1. Product identity
- Exact product name and intended use
- Declared strains or microbial groups
- Viable count and test method
- Powder, liquid, granule or tablet format
How should a buyer evaluate an OEM supplier?
Evaluate the complete product and supply system—not only price or CFU count. Confirm strain composition, viable count at the stated point in shelf life, product format, carrier, storage, COA, batch controls, packaging, application guidance, export documents and the responsibilities of both parties.
2. Quality documents
- Current product specification
- Batch-specific certificate of analysis
- Production date, shelf life and storage
- Agreed microbiological and physical limits
3. OEM scope
- Existing formula or customized specification
- Private-label artwork responsibilities
- Packaging material and pack size
- Minimum order and production lead time
4. Export readiness
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Product description and HS-code discussion
- Label-language and destination requirements
- Shipping, storage and document responsibilities
5. Application support
- Target species and farming scenario
- Compatible water-quality conditions
- Confirmed dosage and application method
- Disinfectant and storage compatibility guidance
6. Commercial verification
- Representative sample process
- Batch consistency expectations
- Payment and claim-handling terms
- Territory, branding and confidentiality terms
Do not select probiotics by CFU count alone
A high viable count does not by itself confirm suitability. Strain identity, product stability, carrier, storage, pond objective, application method and quality documentation all affect whether a product is appropriate for the intended market.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between OEM and private label?
Private label normally uses a confirmed existing product with the buyer's branding. OEM may involve agreed changes to specification, format, packaging or documents, subject to feasibility and compliance requirements.
What should be included in a sample evaluation?
Confirm that the sample matches the written specification. Review appearance, odor, dispersibility where relevant, packaging integrity, storage instructions and laboratory data. Field evaluation should use a defined protocol rather than informal observation alone.
