Indonesia turns to Denmark to make cattle feed safer

Indonesia studied Denmark’s model to improve cattle feed safety controls and strengthen national monitoring and certification.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture has worked with Denmark to strengthen national quality and safety systems for animal feed, ANTARA reports.

The cooperation included a capacity-building visit to Copenhagen from 2–6 February with Denmark’s Veterinary, Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Agency.

Indonesia said it wants to modernise feed oversight using more transparency and a risk-based approach, drawing on Danish best practices.

Officials said tighter monitoring could reduce losses from low-quality or contaminated feed, and lower disease risks in livestock production.

The ministry is also revising a 2017 animal feed regulation, preparing a feed safety policy paper, and planning a certification body and national monitoring system.
