Registration is now open for the “AFIA-520: Advanced Feed Safety & Quality Assurance Protocols” distance education program. The online course, sponsored by the American Feed Industry Association and Kansas State University, will provide a better understanding of feed safety and quality assurance issues impacting feed manufacturing including how to prepare and respond to the implementation of the timely Food Safety Modernization Act. It will also offer training tools to improve feed safety and feed quality.
AFIA-520 will begin on March 24 and run for five weeks, allowing course participants to work at their own pace while engaging in online discussions on the presented material. The course fee is $499 for AFIA members and $685 for non-members, and there is a maximum registration of 50 participants so reserve you spot early.
The course was developed by the feed technology group at KSU’s Department of Grain Science and Industry in conjunction with faculty from KSU’s Animal Science Department, North Carolina State University and leading industry experts. The curriculum is valuable to employees at all levels, even those who have years of experience in the feed industry.
