Way to the quality and safetyr. 2008 – Progressive implementation of GMP+

r. 2006 – Compulsory implementation of HACCP system

r. 2003 – Implementation of Quality control system and Good Manufacturing Practise

r. 1997 – 2002 Implementation of optimation of raw material composition and of ISO systems

Good manufacturing practise - r. 2003

Focused of GMP implementation by premixes and compound feed production

• Definitions and concepts

• Critical points in production• Production facilities and equipment of producer• Employees in production • Premixes and feed production – production

procedures• Quality control• Storage and transport of components and

products • Record keeping for producers• Complaints and withdrawal of final product

r. 2005

Focus on GMP of medicated feeds production:

• Quality Assurance system (QA), GMP, Quality Control

(QC)• Staff – key persons, trainings, hygiene• Facilities and devices – buildings, technologies• Documentation – pharmaceuticals and

immunologicals, medicated feeds• Production - procedures, cross contamination,

validation process, packings,• Quality control (QC) – pharmaceuticals,

immunologicals, medicated feeds• Complaints and claims – claims, withdrawal from

circulation, defects classification• Internal inspections – internal audits

Covering of the whole production process, storage and transport• GMP principles when adjusting the harvest of

cereals, legumes and seed oil• Principles of good storage practise during

storage of feeds, additives and premixes – STORAGE REGULATIONS

• Principles of good practise during premixes and compound feeds production

• Principles of good practise during transport of feeds, additives and premixes

• Principles for analysis processing of potential risks and hazard during production of compound feeds and premixes, for implementation of critical control points system - HACCP

Traceable to National program for reduction of salmonella incidence

Implementation of similar system as is e.g. in nordic EU countries, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Denmark

Focus on:• Raw materials - taking, storage, classification,

monitoring, sampling and analysis (serotyping), risk raw materials evaluation, suppliers evaluation, actions

• Production and storage of compound feeds – cleaning and control of technological device, registration into HACCP, staff training, sampling and analysis

• Actions to prevent inicidence of salmonella –

technological actions, treatment of raw

materials and finished feeds

• Transport of raw materials and compound feeds

• Delivery of compound feed to consumer

• Evidence keeping about control of salmonella

incidence

• Collection of identifed data about salmonella

incidence control and actions, evaluation

Compliance with current legislation of EU and the Czech Republic

• GMP is based on EP and Board regulations (ES) č. 183/2005 establishing the requirements for feeds hygiene

• Respect other EU and Czech legislations which relate to feed production and animal nutrition includes of prescriptions related to medication and use of feeds of animal origin.

• Proceeding with good practise principles is in compliance with European Code of industrial feed producers published by FEFAC

• Respects Codex Alimentarius

Trends, expectance and connections• Pressure for raising the level of feed and food safety will continue – EU consumers are exacting and await that all food on their table is safe !!!

• The European Commission together with member states is preparing increasingly stringent requirements and criteria– EC regulations and directives of MRL

coccidiostats in feeds and foods– Is preparing regulation of microbiological risks in

feeds (salmonella)– Starts the prescriptions revision of the feed

medication– Is preparing new regulation of use of animal

origin feed (partial unblocking of requirements related to BSE/TSE)

– Is reviewing the approach to mycotoxines in feeds, max. limited contents will be probably obligatory

– Will be published regulation of feed introduction into cycle during half-year (feed sector will prepare Catalog feed materials and Guidelines for feed labeling) – requirement for transparency

Why increases demand on self-audited systems?

Answer:Gaining trust between producers, suppliers and

consumers.Business partners want to be sure that ISO, GMP+ and

HACCP systems are correctly set and functional.They want to be sure that purchased goods is quality

and safe.The result isn´t only achieving of higher level of feed

quality and feed safety but also saving to their verification in income.
