COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL APPROACH

Ensuring the safety of animal feed throughout its circulation is a critically important component of the overall food safety management system. Feed, as the initial element of the food chain, directly affects the quality of animal-derived food products, which is reflected in the conceptual slogan "Feed as part of the food chain" In light of the provisions of the Codex Alimentarius Commission document CAC/RCP 1-1969 (Rev.4-2003), particular emphasis is placed on adherence to Good Hygienic Practice (GHP) at all stages of feed circulation. For enterprises engaged in the circulation of feed, feed additives, and premixes, the implementation of sanitary, infrastructural, transportation, and storage requirements is of critical importance. This article analyzes and systematizes the elements of the hygienic practice system implemented at “SYMEDICA UA” in the context of feed safety standards and identifies the key factors for effective contamination risk management. The research employed structural-functional analysis, monitoring methods, and graph-analytical tools to visualize zoning of production areas and logistics schemes. A comprehensive set of GMP measures has been implemented, including territorial zoning, color-coded warehouse areas, infrastructure maintenance, implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and personal hygiene requirements for both staff and visitors. Particular attention is given to vehicle inspection prior to loading and the development of logistics routes that consider cross-contamination risks. The proposed model of production hygiene organization can be applied by other operators in the animal feed circulation sector. The experience of the company “SYMEDICA UA” serves as an example of a comprehensive approach to feed safety risk management within the framework of international standards ISO 22000:2018 and DSTU ISO/TS 22002-6:2016.
