Specifications of feed ingredients and finished feeds,

and BIS standards

Vishnu Vardhan Reddy.PTVM/2015-29

Specifications of feed ingredients

• Specifications are defined as a group of standards given

by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) or Indian

Standards Institute(ISI) to different feed ingredients

for feeding of animals.

• These are essential for feed quality assurance

programme.

• And serve as basis for ration formulation.
