The American Feed Industry Association, in partnership with the International Grains Program of the Department of Grain Science and Industry at Kansas State University will host two education programs - the 'AFIA/KSU Advanced Pelleting Course' and 'Establishing a HACCP Program for the Feed industry' - in February and April this year. The courses will be held in Manhattan, Kansas, USA.

AFIA/KSU Advanced Pelleting Course (10 - 13 February) 

The course will look at the important concepts necessary for an optimal and efficient pelleting operation system in a feed manufacturing business.

The interactive program is ideal for feed mill operators, managers, supervisors, merchandisers, equipment manufacturers, maintenance personnel and managers of livestock, swine and poultry facilities.

Establishing a HACCP Program for the Feed Industry (14-17 April)

The program is designed for all individuals within the industry looking to implement a HACCP plan, but particularly pertains to feed mill managers, quality assurance personnel and ingredient suppliers.

The course has been offered by AFIA, NGFA and KSU for more than 10 years; and due to increased popularity, it has been held twice per year since 2010.
