Welcome to the

ASC Feed Certification Programme online

This interactive tool contains the documentation that you need to guide your feed mill to ASC certification.

It’s time to Feed Responsibly

ASC’s Feed Standard tackles one of the biggest potential impacts of aquaculture – the production and supply of feed. It does this by making sure:

• Every feed ingredient is risk assessed for impacts
• Best practices in feed supply chains are recognised

When your feed mill gets ASC certified, you’re helping to meet the growing global demand for more responsible feed.
