There is considerable variation in the regulation of the animal production and animal feed industries in different countries. While it is unlikely, and possibly inappropriate, that a common set of international standards be established, many countries are looking to develop and implement regulations that are applicable to their own circumstances. For example, the most developed countries have established very complete and in-depth sets of regularly upgraded regulations, based on many years of experience and designed to meet their own particular needs and circumstances.
It would be very useful to produce a set of general guidelines on the development and establishment of regulations, which countries could adapt to their own circumstances.
