Portuguese term or phrase: pre iniciais

Hi,

I really hope you can help me with this. I'm struggling with a few phrases in a customer satisfaction survey, which I will post as separate questions.

The customer satisfaction survey was sent to animal farmers from a company that produces additives and nutrients for animal production.

The survey is from Brazil and is to be translated into UK English.

The question was:
"What would the one thing be that [company name] should start doing to improve service to you?"

The full answer was:
"na parte das pre iniciais onde as gente peca mais não tem uma qualidade de produto."

I was thinking of something quite literal like "pre-initial product lines" but I can't find much on the Internet about pre-initial feed or anything.

Many thanks for your help!! Greatly appreciated as always :)

Grading comment

I think it is more likely to be one of these options given the context of animal feed. Thank you for your help.

Pilot

Explanation:
"Pilot product line"
Could be something on these lines?

A pilot marketing program is a test or a trial. It is often done on a small scale until proven successful.

Example sentence(s):

"Starting with a pilot product line or another contained area of the business is a big help to “proof” your concept and methodology (see Implementation Methodology in Exhibit II)."
