Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) has extended the 60-day public comment period for the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Feed Mill Standard Issue 3.0. Interested stakeholders now have until Tuesday, Jan. 28, to submit input.
A technical committee led by professor Ron Hardy of the University of Idaho revamped the standard in response to growing demand for sustainable farmed seafood. The requirements for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)-based feed safety and the ethical treatment of employees have been greatly expanded.
The standard continues to address the responsible sourcing of feed ingredients, but the requirements for marine inputs and key terrestrial inputs, including soy and palm oil, have been strengthened. New requirements have also been added relating to energy usage, water usage and to antioxidants to ensure that the standard retains its place as the leading standard for responsible aquafeed production.
