Registered A farm is Farm a large tract of land along with facilities needed to raise cattle destined to go to feedlot for finishing that has been registered with DAFF as complying with control measures set out in this VPN Registered A feedlot is a feed yard which is used in intensive animal farming for finishing livestock, notably beef Feedlot cattle prior to slaughter at abattoir that has been registered with DAFF as complying with control measures set out in this VPN Inspection The examination of feed or systems for control of residues, raw materials, traceability, and disease control, in order to verify that the registered unit conform to requirements. For organic food, inspection includes the examination of the production and processing system Premix A uniform mixture of one or more with diluent and/or carrier. Premixes are used to facilitate uniform dispersion of micro-ingredients in a larger mix BACKGROUND The African industry has expressed interest in participating in international trade and various desired trade partners require strict risk mitigation measures for importation of products of animal origin. Before trade of animal products may occur, the importing country needs to be satisfied that their animal health status will be appropriately protected. The Veterinary Services of an exporting country must provide evidence to the Veterinary Services of the importing country that an adequate level of protection is achieved. In order to facilitate such trade and assist the South African industry in attaining these markets, a split system for production of products of animal origin is proposed. The split system incorporates the general principles necessary to facilitate international trade of products of animal origin. This system is based mainly on functional separation of animals with differing health status and management practices by implementing strict biosecurity measures, identification and traceability, feed and veterinary drug use monitoring and control and disease control
