Phytocontrol, a reference for the Feed industry
The Phytocontrol Group, an expert in Food safety and a specialist in contaminants, particularly in animal feed, continues to develop ever more reliable and responsive methods to meet the regulation standards and your needs.
Many substances are likely to be found in animal feed: pesticides used in the treatment of raw materials, heavy metals, dioxins, etc. Animals must consume safe food to prevent the appearance of undesirable and harmful effects both for the animal and for the human being who will consume the products from the farm.
The feed industry is subject to specific regulations that set maximum limits for many contaminants.
Phytocontrol referenced by OQUALIM and GMP+
We are referenced by OQUALIM, an association serving animal nutrition companies and the livestock sector for the control of the safety and quality of animal feed.
We are also GMP+ (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified, on the feed control processes in accordance with the requirements and applicable conditions of the GMP+ B10 and GMP+ B11 standards.
These recognitions and certifications for the feed industry are an additional guarantee for the Phytocontrol Group of a high quality of analysis in the shortest possible time.
