The ‘Feed Chain Alliance' Standard is flexible and progressive. It adapts to the reality of the field and to the technological progress. Some parts are very specific, providing adequate solutions on issues that other standards are unaware of (inspection of meat stores producing category 3 material intended for processing into compound feed, purchase and specific monitoring of certain products, etc); The ‘Feed Chain Alliance’ system is an internationally recognized system, leaving doors wide open for feed operators. It is also recognized by operators from other sectors, particularly in animal productions, who include them as feed requirements. Feed, certified ‘Feed Chain Alliance’ are therefore, an integral part of the standard applied in the production of meat, milk or eggs; Such a recognition also reduces the number of ‘client’ audits. The ‘Feed Chain Alliance’ system, by mere fact of its credibility inspires the confidence of buyers, by reducing significantly or even stopping more often their visits to your company. That is time and money saved … that you are able to devote to your profession!
