GLOBALG.A.P. Compound Feed Manufacturing Standard (CFM)

The GLOBALG.A.P. CFM compound-feed production standard is a foundational component of a healthy animal feed chain. Compound feed plays a central role in production and supply for livestock and aquaculture. The quality of compound feed has become a significant food-safety concern, and the GLOBALG.A.P. CFM standard defines criteria for its procurement and supply. Scope covers compound-feed purchase, use, storage, and transport.

The GLOBALG.A.P. Compound Feed Safety Standard (CFM) was published in March 2010. For farms and hatcheries certified under the GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance system, use of the CFM standard is mandatory.

The GLOBALG.A.P. compound-feed safety standard focuses on three main areas.

• Food safety
• Worker welfare
• Environment
