Feed Safety and Regulations in Industry Veterinary feed directive Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) Effective January 1, 2017 Process for authorizing use of animal drugs intended for use in animal feed that require the supervision of a licensed veterinarian VFD Drug Drug intended for use in or on animal feed Applies to medically important antimicrobials in feed when needed for specific animal health purposes VFD Written statement issued by a licensed veterinarian in the course of the veterinarian’s professional practice, ordering the use of VFD drug or combination VFD drug in or on an animal feed
Consulting Bodies Food and Drug administration / center for veterinary medicine (CVM) FDA regulated both food and feed Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is the animal side of the FDA Derive authority from Code of Federal Regulations BSE – Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy 21CFR589 – Substances Prohibited from Use in Animal Food or Feed Medicated Feed 21CFR225 – Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicated Feeds Facility inspections Recall authority Reportable Food Registry GRAS notification

Feed Regulations Feed Tags and Placards Feed labels are legal documents Incorrect feed labels with a load are considered misbranding and can result in a fine Information on the feed labels is dictated by the state and AAFCO South Dakota requires sulfur to be listed on the feed tag High Aflatoxin must be declared on the label
Feed Safety Why is feed safety important Animal welfare and health Safety of the food produced by an animal (eggs, milk, meat, fish, poultry) Safety of the people handling the feed
Feed Safety What is feed safety Food/Feed safety is the process of anticipating and controlling hazards in the products we manufacture Our Feed Safety program is made up of two parts: Pre-requisite Programs (PRPs) + HACCP Principles (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) Our programs have no CCPs for Feed PRPs have replaced GHPs and GMPs
Feed Safety What is feed safety Feed hazards can be grouped into the following categories; Chemical: pesticides, lubricants, mycotoxins (Aflatoxin) Biological: BSE (mad cow disease), pathogens Physical: glass, wood, metal, plastic Radiological: radiation, uranium, nuclear waste
Feed Safety Chemical hazards Aflatoxin One of our biggest Feed and Food safety hazards Exposure to Aflatoxin can be either acute or chronic Acute – High levels can cause liver failure or Hepatotoxicity Chronic – Carcinogenic Can be expressed in cow milk as M1 toxin, potential impact to humans FDA Regulated Limits <20 ppb: Unknown animal, humans, immature animals <100 ppb: Adult poultry, breeding swine, breeding beef cattle <200 ppb: Swine over 100 lbs <300 ppb: Finishing beef cattle Cargill manages Aflatoxin through a rigorous testing program including testing of raw materials, in-process and final product
Feed Safety Chemical hazards Mycotoxins – 1000s of additional toxins, but we monitor the following 6 in our programs Aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, G2) Deoxynivalenol Fumonisin (B1, B2, B3) T-2 Toxin Zearalenone Ochratoxin Zearalenone FDA Guidance <1000 ppb Fumonisin FDA Guidance Swine and Catfish: <20 ppm* Breeding ruminants, breeding poultry and breeding mink: <30 ppm* Ruminants ≥ 3 months old for slaughter: <60 ppm* Poultry for slaughter: <100 ppm* All other species or classes of livestock: <10 ppm* Deoxynivalenol (DON) FDA Guidance Ruminating beef and feedlot cattle older than 4 months: <10 ppm* / 5 ppm finished feed Chickens: Grain and grain by-products <10 ppm / 5 ppm finished feed Swine: Not to exceed 20% of diet <5 ppm / 1 ppm finished feed All other animals not to exceed 40% of the diet <5 ppm *No more than 50% of the diet
Feed Safety Biological Hazards Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (BSE): Mad Cow Disease Title 21 Part 589 CFR Prohibits most types mammalian protein in food for ruminants - BSE High risk Meat meal, bone meal or products that contain meat meal (dog food) are not allowed Fish and poultry meal are ok because they are not mammals Focus on Prevention Our plants are mammalian protein free Prohibited back haul list
Feed Safety Biological hazards Pathogens or Mold Water Activity - Measurement of water “freedom” in a food/feed product Equal to the relative humidity in the air surrounding the feed divided by 100 If relative humidity equals 65%, aW equals 0.65 Product controls Knowing the characteristics of our products and their aW helps us determine safe storage conditions for the products Salmonella is unlikely to grow at an aW less than 0.9
Feed Safety Physical hazards Metal, glass, wood, plastic, gasket material, tools ¼ inch to 2 inches long and less than 1 inch wide and sharp for cattle 7 mm to 25 mm all other animals (US FM Spec) Items recognizable shape (tools, nuts, bolts) System Controls Magnets Pre / Post load inspections Prohibited back hauls
