Why the Antibiotic-Free Feed standard matters
The original GMP+ TS2.2 standard was initially a country note introduced in response to the EU ban on antibiotics in feed production, addressing the growing concerns about antimicrobial resistance—a critical threat to both animal and human health. During the GMP+ Global Feed Safety Summit in 2022, the urgency of accelerating efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance emerged as a key takeaway.
“The new standard has been developed thanks to the collaboration of experts representing the different areas of our sector from different parts of the world.” Liliana Quillama, Scheme & Customer Service officer and a GMP+ expert in this field.
