The Association of American Feed Control Officials welcomes you to our 2021 Midyear Meeting – Virtual. We wish we could be meeting in person, but the health and safety of everyone during the COVID-19 global pandemic is our priority, so we’re holding this meeting virtually.
The following language comes from our Official Publication:
AAFCO’s basic goal is to provide a mechanism for developing and implementing uniform and equitable laws, regulations, standards, definitions, and enforcement policies for regulating the manufacture, labeling, distribution, and sale of animal feeds, resulting in safe, effective, and useful feeds.
How do we do this? Here are some ways we provide this support to our members, industry, and consumers.
