The European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC) was founded in 1959 by five national compound feed associations from France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

FEFAC membership today consists of national associations from EU Member States as full members and of an increasing number of observer members from non-EU countries. FEFAC is the only independent spokesman of the European Compound Feed Industry at the level of the European Institutions. FEFAC holds observer status in CODEX Alimentarius.

No confirmation of feed contamination with ASFv in China

FEFAC is attentively following any information related to a possible role of feed in transmission of ASFv. In this context, FEFAC noted that tests performed by Chinese authorities on a suspect feed did not confirm the contamination. This shows that any information pointing to feed as a cause of infection with ASFv must be handled very cautiously, and requires thorough analysis before coming to any conclusion taking into account elements such as the origin of the samples, the actual contamination pathway and at which stage of the chain it could have occurred (feed ingredient supplier, feed mill, transport, farm). » read more

Outcome of the Sorghum congress - Milano - 7-8 November 2018

The 2nd International Sorghum Congress took place on 7-8 November 2018 in Milan. This gave an opportunity to discuss the ability of sorghum to compete with other cereals both in terms of profitability for farmers and economic/nutritional interest for users in both food and feed sectors. It was concluded that sorghum has a number of assets in particular in terms of environmental performance (resistance to drought and natural resilience to pest and diseases), safety (low occurrence of mycotoxins) and nutritional value (higher ME value than maize, higher protein content). It was perceived that the reasons why sorghum is no more produced / used is a deficit of communication on the actual economic, nutritional and environmental benefit and the perception that sorghum is rich in antinutritional factors, e.g. tannins, which is no longer the case for EU produced sorghum for more than 20 years.» read more
