EUFETEC Mission
To support FEED sector-bound and FEED sector-steered
technological innovation through an integrated approach :
Harmonized Research
Practical guidelines / Training
Practical implementation / Service provision
Competitive EU Feed industry, for consumers, farmers and other

• To become a world-wide acknowledged EU reference
center for research, training and service provision in
the FEED sector, with strategic Brussels as head
quarter.

EUFETEC Objective
Contribute to :
• Safe & high-quality food products
130 mio T milk
45 mio T meat
7 mio T eggs
• Societal responsibility
Sustainable feed
Environment friendly (N in water ; ammonia in air ; feed conversion)
Valorization of various by-products (food and fuel)
• Integrated production process (farm-to-fork)
• Competitive European feed industry
EUFETEC Strategy
• Call as much as possible on existing know-how and
infrastructures;
• Ensure optimal use of existing resources and to avoid
duplication as far as possible;
• Enhance cooperation and attract resources;
• Respects the intellectual property and know-how of every
stakeholder;
• Bundle the financial input as far as possible based on
know-how;
• Harmonize output as much as possible in an operational
way;
2. Results of international questionnaire

Results : general
“A structural and sustainable cooperation at EU level between the different
stakeholders of the feed chain, research centers and the academic community in the
area of research, service provision and training is:”
(very) important
80.6%
Results : Feed & Food Quality and Safety
“Residues of coccidiostats or medicated feed in feed for non-target animals are a
problem to your activities as feed producer:”
(completely) agree
54.8%
“In the short term, in the EU there is a need for maximum limits or action limits for residues
of coccidiostats or medicated feed in feed for non-target animals as well as in end products
(milk, egg and meat). The limits should be consistent with each other.”
(completely) agree
79%
Results : Production Unit Management
Energy Management
“The international evolution of energy prices (oil, electricity, gas,...) can be a threat
to your activities as feed producer: “
(completely) agree
79.9%
“To map out the use of energy in your company and to introduce some measures to
rationalize and optimize this is:”
(very) important
87.1%
Results : Production Unit Management
“There is a need for a uniform EU protocol in order to determine cross contamination
and homogeneity in facilities where feed is produced:”
(completely) agree
81.5%

3. Way forward
• Finalization of (1st edition of) EUFETEC Vision Document;
• Increase the “visibility” of EUFETEC at European level
Communicate FEED (and livestock) research priorities to EC (e.g. FP
8);
Interact with European Technology Platforms (ETP’s)
•Animal Task Force
•BECOTEPS
• Increase the “visibility” of EUFETEC, also at national levels
EUFETEC Lecture Tours : research dissemination and interaction
with feed business operators
•Participation in FP 7 calls :
 Field2Trough (Sustainable food and feed processing
 BENEFEED (Food Quality & Safety – KBBE-2010-2-4-03)
 ASTER (KBBE-2010-1-4-01)
- KBBE-2009-2-3-03)
• Contribute to EU policy objectives :
1. Providing companies with tools to comply with feed safety legislation (HACCP,
homogeneity tests, carry-over tests, etc.);
2. Developing feed industry standards / self checking;
3. Completing the scientific background in certain areas;
4. Contributing to improve the sustainability of EU agriculture through valorization
of by-products and to improve the environmental impact of animal products
through their life cycle;
