Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency AT - Feed control programme The National Control Programme covers a period of five years (2011- 2015) and implements the concept of the multi-annual plans. It furthermore implements aspects of feed hygiene of Regulation (EC) No 183/2005. It pursues the objective of the protection against risks for human health and the protection against risks for animal health. The National Control Programme covers control of establishments risk-oriented sampling and analysis incl. ad-hoc resources recommendations regarding the EU-coordinated control programme The National Control Programme is published at www.baes.gv.at 10

11. Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency The objectives of the official feed control are SAFETY FACTOTRS  to ensure the safety of food from animal origin,  to protect human and animal health,  to prevent risks for the environment and QUALITY & FRAUD PROTECTION  to protect the feed users against misleading and fraud.  to sustain & improve the production level of farm animals AT - Feed control programme 11

12. Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency The control activities and intensity should reflect the importance of the objectives:  Official control should be focussed (SAFETY FACTORS) on undesirable substances prohibited substances illegal substances microbiological contamination or deterioration residues from pesticides.  Official control should also control (QUALITY FACTORS) such as protein, fat or energy only to avoid misleading correct labelling AT - Feed control programme 12

13. Consumers, Health, Agriculture and Food Executive Agency Methods of control  Control of establishments: process control  Product control: undesirable substances, prohibited substances, residues of pesticides, GMO, Salmonella, feed additives, classification and labelling of feed, rules to protect against misleading and to ensure fair advertising  Check of documents: records keeping, of mixing protocols, evidence of actions taken, certificate of analyses; if QM programmes in place/not AT - Feed control programme 13
