Feed Standards

All members of the Farm Assurance Scheme must source compounds/blended feedstuffs for their livestock from manufacturers / merchants (mills) which are UFAS approved. This ensures traceability of animal feedingstuffs (raw materials) through regular, independent inspections of the businesses and its products. A list of Assured Feeds Suppliers can be located by clicking on Members' directory.
