PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHILE USING FEED ADDITIVES IN ANIMAL FEED

• Use of feed additives require safety precautions in order to minimize possible adverse effect on animal and human health.
• Additives, premixtures and medicated premixtures must be mixed in appropriate quantity and in a homogeneous way.
• Storage, production facilities and manufacturing equipment must be clean and in a good state.
• The process flow within the manufacturing facility must be designed to minimize the potential for contamination and carryover.
• Reasonable precautions must be taken against dust accumulation and other residual materials in place of processing and storage.
• For feed additives and medicated premixtures with high possibility to generate dust, specific measures must be defined to minimize the impact of such dust on the level of carry-over.
