Feed handling must prevent contamination and deterioration while keeping products identifiable. Clean equipment and controlled cleaning residues matter even when feed is bagged. Select and inspect the pallet within the feed business hygiene procedures; bagging alone does not remove contamination risks.

What to check next

• Reject spills, damaged bags and suspect residues.
• Keep feed identity and batch details with each unit.
