Feedstuffs provide nutrients for farm and domestic animals. At the bottom of the food chain feed for livestock has a major impact on food safety. In order to ensure food safety as well as provide an optimum diet for our animals, the use of high-quality and, in particular safer and hence legally compliant feed is imperative.
A high level of feed quality and feed safety can only be guaranteed by a functioning and efficient interaction between feed business operators‘ self-monitoring systems as well as adequate surveillance and control by the competent authority.
The AGES Institute for Animal Nutrition and Feed is able to undertake analyses, answer enquiries and offer expert opinions and scientific advice, to the Austrian population, farmers and feed business operators, the federal provinces, as well as the Austrian Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism (BMNT) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection (BMASGK).
