Resources: regulations, methods and guides for feed and farm
Pages that explain, without selling. Each one shows the date of its last update; the regulatory pages cite their texts, with the link and the date on which they were read again.
Regulations, read for you
The European texts that govern feed, summarised and cited: what is binding, what is recommended, and from when.
- RegulationEU mycotoxin valuesMaximum levels and guidance values for mycotoxins in feed: what Recommendation (EU) 2026/1801 changes from 1 July 2027, value by value, with sources.
- RegulationFeed additive categoriesTechnological, sensory, nutritional, zootechnical, coccidiostats: the five categories of feed additives, their functional groups and the EU register.
- RegulationEthoxyquin in feedWhy ethoxyquin can no longer be used in EU feed, what it changes for fish meal and fats, and which antioxidants are authorised.
Understand a problem
What happens, what it costs, and the levers through husbandry, through feed and through drinking water.
- In depthMycotoxins in feedAflatoxin, DON, zearalenone, fumonisins, ochratoxin, T-2: where each mycotoxin comes from, how it is measured, and what a feed mill can do about it.
- In depthPiglet weaningCreep feed, acid-binding capacity, zinc oxide, acids, flavours, drinking water: what changes at weaning and how to weigh the levers.
- In depthHeat stressWhen heat rises, feed intake drops and water intake climbs: management first, then feed (betaine, flavours) and water (electrolytes, pH).
- In depthChick brooding, first weekWater at placement, temperature, access to feed, uniformity: the benchmarks of a broiler flock’s first seven days, and the role of water.

How these pages are made
A definition first. Each page opens with a few lines that stand alone: what it is about, for whom, in what framework. A reader in a hurry can stop there; the tables and the contents list do the rest.
Sources, and their date. A regulatory page cites each text with its reference and its link, and states the day on which it was read again. It summarises; it is not legal advice, and the text published in the Official Journal is the authentic one.
The European Union, and nothing more. These pages describe the European rule in general. They do not state the regulatory frame of a product in a given country: that depends on the destination, and is available on request.
The problem before the product. The pages that explain a problem at the mill or on the farm start with husbandry, then place what feed and water can contribute. What belongs to the vet is referred to the vet.
A question these pages do not settle?
A technical question
Tell us the species, the feed or the water, the country, and what you are trying to solve: a technician will reply.
