Animal Feed Regulatory Program (AFR)

The Animal Feed Regulatory Program (AFR) is a system that oversees the safety and quality of animal feed products, ensuring they are safe for animals and, ultimately, for humans who consume animal products. It involves setting standards, inspecting facilities, and testing ingredients to prevent contamination, improper labeling, or health risks. The program aims to maintain consistent, safe, and nutritious feed supply, protecting animal health, food safety, and public health through regulatory oversight and compliance enforcement.
