AIC Feed Safety Calculators for Risk Assessment: Materials, Additives and Process Aids

From feed materials to additives and process aids, this page brings all AIC calculators together to help you make informed, compliant decisions with confidence.

Getting Started with the AIC Feed Safety Calculator

Introduced in 2013, the AIC Feed Safety Analysis Calculator is a mandatory tool for Feed Materials Assurance Scheme (FEMAS) Participants and a valuable resource for Universal Feed Assurance Scheme (UFAS) and Trade Assurance Scheme for Combinable Crops (TASCC) Participants when developing risk assessments. It helps set minimum testing frequencies for undesirable substances and ensures consistency across the feed industry.

This video walks Participants through how the calculator works, when to use it, and how to access it for the first time via the Kiwa portal.

Using the Catalogue of Feed Materials Calculator

The Catalogue of Feed Materials Calculator covers all feed materials listed within UK and EU feed materials catalogues. It incorporates undesirable substances identified in legislation, along with other material‑specific hazards, each assessed for their potential impact on human and animal health.

This video explains how the tool assesses undesirable substances and other hazards, how results are generated, and how to build an analysis schedule based on your annual production or trade volume.

Using the Feed Material Register Calculator

The Feed Material Register Calculator is mandatory for FEMAS Participants, supporting the development of risk assessments for materials listed in the GB and EU Feed Materials Registers. Analysis requirements are matched to the relevant chapter of the Catalogue of Feed Materials, depending on product type.

This step‑by‑step video explains how the tool aligns analysis requirements with the relevant chapter of the Catalogue of Feed Materials and generates a minimum monitoring plan based on hazards and your annual production or trade volume.

How to Use the Additives, Additive Preparations & Process Aids Calculator

The Additives, Additive Preparations and Process Aids Calculator is a mandatory tool for FEMAS Participants. It supports risk assessments across feed additives, additive preparations, and process aids. Analysis requirements are determined by both the raw material type and the manufacturing processes involved.

This video walks through how analysis requirements are determined based on raw materials, biological category, and manufacturing processes.
