Feed the World

IFIF/FAO Feed Manual

The Manual for Good Practices for the feed industry has been developed by FAO and IFIF to provide the worldwide feed industry with a single document to use as a tool for implementing the Code of Good Animal Feeding Practice ,which was adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in July 2004.

Codex Alimentarius (literally ‘food law’ in Latin), is a United Nations-sanctioned organisation. It completed work on regulations for animal feeds which is now being applied uniformly around the world. This is important for the expansion of international trade in feed products as well as in food products of animal origin. Both food exporting countries and food importing countries - which include virtually every country - can benefit from a more level playing field that supports the trade of safe food products.

Feed manufacturers participated in the Codex process through the IFIF. Other national and international organisations in the food and commodity supply industries also participated, which underscores the importance of feed industry involvement.

As soon as the Feed Manual has been adopted by industry it will feature on this page for visitors to view on line or download.
