The specific goal of this project is to establish a cooperative agreement with FDA to continue to advance
efforts at achieving a nationally integrated feed safety system. In Connecticut, this will occur by using
this funding to maintain full implementation of the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS)
and continue improving the safety of animal feed in Connecticut. In conjunction with our Feed Contract,
we will be conducting inspections on applicable feed manufacturing firms in Connecticut, collecting feed
samples and conducting complaint investigations along with other animal feed related duties.
