Project Summary/Abstract AAFCO Advanced Inspector Training Seminar PAR-19-306 The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a voluntary membership association of local, state, and federal agencies charged by law to regulate the manufacture and distribution of animal feeds. The AAFCO Inspection & Sampling Committee ensures that the Advanced Inspector Training Seminar (AITS) is made available to State Feed Programs to utilize for field staff training needs. Common agenda topics are centered on Regulatory Authority, Investigative Techniques, Federal Contract Work, Medicated Feeds and Labeling Requirements, and Emergency Response. All personnel employed by state government agencies which perform inspections in feed facilities are invited via email to attend the meeting, and up to sixty (60) attendees, on average, are accepted as attendees. Historically, State Feed Programs have been limited on travel due to available resources provided by their agency, therefore, the Association generally attempts to keep registration costs as minimal as possible to increase the opportunity for field staff to attend. AAFCO intends to utilize grant funding to ensure AITS provides the attendees with a robust training on regulatory topics and professionalism subjects that have been identified as necessary in order for animal feed inspectors to perform their duties satisfactorily.
