Animal Feed Inspection and Audits in Turkey
For feed manufacturers, feed ingredient traders and integrators, we audit feed mills and inspect compound feed, oilseed meals and by-products.
What matters in this sector
Feed safety is food safety one step earlier. Aflatoxin B1 in dairy feed becomes aflatoxin M1 in milk; Salmonella in poultry feed becomes a flock problem. EU and other buyers expect feed suppliers to control these hazards under recognised feed hygiene rules.
We assess feed mills against feed hygiene requirements and buyer schemes, and inspect and sample feed and feed ingredients before shipment.
