New labelling requirements for DCP and TCP - name shall be supplemented by ‘from bones’ where appropriate
The Commission Regulation (EU)2017/1017 of 15 June 2017 amending Regulation (EU)68/2013 on the Catalogue of feed materials requires for both DCP and TCP (number 11.3.1, 11.3.4 resp. in the catalogue) that the name is supplemented with “from bones” if the DCP / TCP is made from bones instead of mineral rock. These new requirements enter into force as of 11 July.
Statement on IFP Ring tests and Quality logo
The IFP logo "Quality Feed Phosphate (QFP)" certifies that:
- Products have stable and accurate chemical properties
- Concentrations of heavy metals are controlled and in line with legislation
- Citric acid and ammonium citrate phosphorus solubilities of products is >95%
Moreover, this label indicates that IFP members are experts in feed phosphates, producing consistent and high quality products.
European inorganic feed phosphates producers commit to sustainability
Since inorganic phosphates used for animal feeding come from a finite mineral resource, it is vital to minimize the pressure on available reserves by producing the highest quality and most digestible feed additives.
