Alltech receives FEMAS certification

Alltech’s Nicholasville plant, USA, was awarded the certification based on
the evaluation of its range of silage inoculants. The plants in Springfield,
USA, Kentucky, USA and Alexandria, Ontario, Canada received certification for
the manufacture of Bioplex® organic trace minerals. The São Pedro, Brazil
plant was graded on the manufacture of the following products: Bio-Mos®,
Mycosorb®, Sel-Plex®, and NuPro®.

Since its inception, the FEMAS feed
materials scheme has been based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points
(HACCP) principles, an internationally recognised, detailed system of hazard
analysis. FEMAS is a British based method of assuring the quality of feed
ingredients being imported into the UK and Ireland, and is recognised as being
equivalent to the major EU quality schemes, such as Universal Feed Assurance
Scheme (UFAS), Feed Additives and Pre-mixtures Quality System (FAMIQS), and Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP+).   

The FEMAS scheme itself
covers the sourcing and production of feed materials, tracking them back to the
countries where they were grown. FEMAS-certified companies are an extremely
diverse group, ranging from food additive manufacturers to food processors and
brewers.
