Feed monitoring - reporting unsafe feed

Laboratories that carry out analyses of feed on behalf of feed companies are obliged to report unsafe feed.

As the person responsible or the person in charge of a laboratory, you must check the following questions in connection with the new reporting obligation:

Is it a feed sample taken in Germany?
Based on the analysis results, do you assume that the feed safety requirements are not being met? Is there therefore a marketing ban?

Note: This reporting obligation supplements the obligations of feed business operators. They must immediately inform the authorities responsible for them of the measures taken if they assume that the feed they have placed on the market is not safe.

Responsible department

The regional council responsible for the respective laboratory.
