GLOBAL Good Agricultural Practices (G.A.P.) - Compound Feed Manufacturing Standard (CFM)

Safe and suitable nutrition is vital for animal health and welfare and forms an integral part of the food chain. Compound feed therefore plays a key role in ensuring feed and food safety along the entire livestock and aquaculture supply chain. From the production and sourcing of raw materials to their processing for quality-assured compound feed, the issue has become a major consumer concern. Version 3.0 of the Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) standard, finalized on 15 December 2021, features expanded environmental and social governance criteria that places a more rigorous focus on sustainability, responsible sourcing of critical compounds such as soy and fish meal and fish oil and workers´ wellbeing.
