Agriculture/animal husbandry
For those QS system partners that are beef cattle, pig and poultry keepers, there are special requirements made to ensure the safe production and marketing of animal feed and foodstuffs. The QS system offers a wide range of benefits to farmers for these reasons.
The Agriculture, beef cattle, pork and poultry guideline is a practical management aid when it comes to the safe implementation of the legal specifications and the relevant cross-compliance requirements.
Participation in the QS system, and the support when it comes to establishing own monitoring systems, help to uncover potential improvements for the farm and to optimise processes.
The establishing of a functioning own monitoring system by QS enables a better overview and better monitoring of the process in the barn and the company. Above and beyond this, the QS own monitoring systems enable accurate implementation of the Basic EU directive 178/2002 on food safety and traceability.
In order to become a partner in the QS system, it is necessary for the individual business sections to complete an audit. The registration for the agriculture stage is carried out via coordinators.
All guidelines, check lists and necessary documentation are always updated and available for under the "Download" menu item.
