Our Objectives

Since the launch of the Feed Adviser Register in 2013 over 1000 feed advisers from all over the UK have joined. The register was set up by AIC and the feed sector in response to the Governments’ commitment and industry and customer demands to reduce emissions from farmed livestock. Feed advisers have already demonstrated their knowledge in areas of animal nutrition, welfare, feeding efficiency and animal health with the completion of FAR Module 1 and 2. With the launch of FAR Module 3, feed advisers will receive training on Environmental Policy and the practical ways to mitigate emissions on farm.

How do I become a feed adviser?

You can join the register either by registering online or printing an application form from the website. You can also email or phone AIC.
