Feed Requirement Updates
PigSAFE and PigCARE programs have updates related to Section 3.3 – Approved and Registered Feed and Feed Ingredients.
These changes are intended to align program language with the updated federal Feeds Regulations, while maintaining continuity for producers.
What’s Changing
- The language in Section 3.3 has been updated to reflect the current Feeds Regulations.
- Record R-W – Letter of Guarantee for Recycled Food Products or Distillers Grains will no longer be required from feed suppliers.
- Producers will be asked to acknowledge compliance with the updated Feeds Regulations as part of their on-farm records.
What’s Staying the Same
- The number of requirements in Section 3.3 remains unchanged, ensuring continuity within the PigSAFE and PigCARE programs.
- Existing record-keeping practices, including the Rations Used On-Farm Record (R-R), continue to be the primary verification tool.
These updates recognize that compliance with the Feeds Regulations is already embedded in current feed supply and on-farm practices, while reducing unnecessary paperwork.
