The NGFA is pleased to be cooperating again with Kansas State University's Department of Grain Science and Industry to present a Feed Manufacturing Short Course on April 5-8 designed to provide training and education on developing a hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) plan for all sectors of the feed industry.
K-State has been offering the short courses in cooperation with industry trade associations since 1976. The courses are taught by a team of K-State faculty and the feed and allied industries, and provide comprehensive training on all aspects of feed manufacturing.
The Feed HACCP Short Course, which will be conducted in Manhattan, Kan., is designed for a wide variety of personnel involved with the safety of feed products, including feed mill supervisors and managers, quality assurance personnel, and ingredient purchasers. Topics for the interactive course include an overview of HACCP in the feed industry, current feed industry regulations, HACCP prerequisite programs, hazard identification and risk analysis, and the seven HACCP principles.
Lead instructor for the course is Matt Frederking, an International HACCP Alliance lead instructor and a member of NGFA's Feed Manufacturing and Technology Committee, and Feed Legislative and Regulatory Affairs Committee. NGFA Director of Feed Services Dave Fairfield also will serve as an instructor.
The $475-per person registration fee includes all short course handout materials, breakfasts and lunches, refreshments and one dinner. Registration is limited to 35 participants, on a first-come-first-serve basis.
