Salmonella typing from the positive samples in 2006 resulted in the following findings:

Poultry: 3x Senftenberg; 2x Mbandaka; 5x Harnna; lx Heidelberg; 2x Parath.B.Java*; lx Lexington;

lx Anatum lx Enterica spp; lx Bredeney; 5x unknown

Cattle: 2x Infantis*; 3x Enterica spp; lx Lexington; 2x unknown

Pigs: 2x Senftenberg; lx Angona*;lx Tenessee; 2x Livingstone; lx Rissen ; lx Anatum; lx Corvallis; 1 x unknown

The * marked Salmonella types are considered by the EU as risk factor for human health

Compound FeedProducersresponse: The development of an European Feed Manufacturers Codę (EFMC)

Many years ago, FEFAC decided to establish an action plan to develop a European quality assurance programme for animal feed. The aim was and is to evaluate and har-monise existing National Quality Assurance Systems and to support the development of this systems in other EU-countries.

In 1998, FEFAC drew up the first FEFAC guidelines for the implementation of na-tional codes of practices for manufacturing of compound feed. They contained a set of principles covering the sourcing of ąuality feed materials, production, storage, transport and delivery of ąuality feed as well as the use of additives and veterinary medicinal substances in feed. One main reąuirement is also the record keeping ensuring an ade-ąuate traceability system.

In April 2001, the FEFAC guidelines were reviewed and the undertaking of a risk analysis based on HACCP principles, an authorisation procedurę for the purchase of feed materials and a contingency procedurę in case of contamination were introduced as new reąuirements to ensure feed safety.

Stepwise development of the European Feed Manufacturers Codę

In 2002, the FEFAC guidelines have been further developed towards a «FEFAC benchmark standard». This document has been used to perform an independent ben-chmarking of each existing national Codę of Good Practices for feed manufacturing with the aim to get an overview of the status of European Quality Assurance in the
