Provisions on the Administration of Fermented Feed.

The Provisions on the Administration of Fermented Feed aim to strengthen the quality and safety of fermented feed. They define fermented feed, regulate its classification as a single feed product, and establish licensing requirements, technical qualifications, production conditions, and quality-control obligations for enterprises engaged in its manufacture.
More specifically, the Provisions require producers to obtain a feed production licence, maintain dedicated fermentation facilities, implement comprehensive quality-control systems, and use approved microbial strains and feed additives. They prescribe requirements for microbial strain registration and preservation, product testing, inspection equipment, safety evaluations, and production records. The Provisions also establish detailed labelling requirements concerning product names, ingredients, microbial strains, quality indicators, and additives, prohibit claims relating to microbial or enzyme functions, and require compliance with feed hygiene standards, storage, transportation, and product safety requirements throughout the production process.
