ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, US — The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), in coordination with Feedstuffs, has opened the application phase for its Integrator Feed Facility of the Year (FFY) program. The program is open to all AFIA member integrator feed facilities.

“We are excited to recognize the integrator feed facilities that prioritize top-notch safety, quality and food safety and production efficiency,” said Gary Huddleston, director of feed manufacturing and regulatory affairs at the AFIA. “Many of our members go above and beyond in keeping their operations running safely and efficiently, so it’s good to acknowledge them.”

The AFIA has been recognizing excellent feed manufacturing facilities since 1985. In 2016, the AFIA created four distinct manufacturing categories to be more inclusive of industry facilities. In 2021, the FFY program separated each category into its own individual program: liquid feed, commercial dry, premix and ingredient, and integrator, with each category having its own facility of the year award.

The application phase for the Integrator Feed Facility of the Year is now open and submissions, with the $100 application fee, are due by Oct. 21.
