feed safety

Feed safety refers to ensuring that animal feed is free from harmful substances, contaminants, or pathogens that could jeopardize animal health or, ultimately, human health when products are consumed. It involves proper handling, storage, and processing of feed ingredients, along with regular testing to prevent contamination from bacteria, toxins, or foreign materials. Maintaining feed safety is essential for producing healthy animals, safe food supplies, and sustainable agriculture. Ensuring feed safety protects animals, farmers, consumers, and the environment by minimizing health risks associated with feed-related hazards.
