FAO is committed to assist countries to ensure feed safety and to comply with the relevant Codex Alimentarius requirements. More specifically, in partnership with the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF), FAO has recently launched the manual of Good Practices
for the Feed Sector. This publication wants to be a valuable tool to increase knowledge and improve feed safety at the production level, benefitting from latest scientific and technical knowledge. In applying a One Health approach, it aims at contributing
to ensure the production and availability of safe, nutritious and diversified food of animal origin for all, while respecting the environment and the welfare of the animals we care for. It especially addresses on-farm feed production at smaller and medium
scales, to ensure that the expanding livestock sector can be of benefit for farmers more in need. The manual recognizes also some newer global concerns, such as the containment of antimicrobial resistance and shows the contribution of feed safety.
Join the FAO Sustainable Livestock Technical Network, the FAO Animal Production and Health Division and the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) to hear about the newly launched manual Good Practices for the Feed Sector and why feed safety is a key
element in the sustainable production of food of animal origin and a necessity for food safety and animal health and welfare. Register
