The schedule of events has been designed to accommodate both new and well-seasoned feed industry professionals, with the ability to mix and match sessions based on experience and employment area.

Feed QA Roundtable | November 4

The QA roundtable was another addition to the 2022 program and we have decided to bring it back for the 2025 program with an entire day dedicated to QA. You don't have to miss any other parts of feed week to take part in this program because this year it has its own day! This is a discussion-based program based on industry-submitted topics. We will be joined by inspectors from the NCDA&CS to give a regulatory update and Q&A in the afternoon.
