Animal Feed Production: Feed Safety

Discover key hygiene regulations, feed processing and feed formulation methods

Please note this course runs without facilitation

Producing animal feed safely will ensure your animal production system remains healthy. Well-fed animals not only live longer but are healthier and more productive in quality and quantity, which means larger farming profits.

On this course, you’ll discover the control and testing methods used to maximise the safety of animal feed. You’ll explore the safety of different types of animal foodstuffs, including forages, oilseeds and by-products.

You’ll also learn hygiene regulations around the microbiological and chemical aspects of animal feed, as well as feed processing and formulation methods.

The course is designed for animal feed mill managers for continuous professional development and training existing and new operators, as well as other personnel (such as administrative and sales staff), food scientists, process engineers, regulators on feed safety practices.

If you’re looking to expand your knowledge on this topic, you might also find of interest the following EIT Food courses on animal feed production and farming:

• Animal Feed Production: Feed Quality
• Explore How Farmers Produce Food Sustainably
• Innovation in Arable Farming: Technologies for Sustainable Farming Systems
