Feed Traceability Readiness Checklist
Score your feed mill's batch traceability readiness: intake lots, recipe versions, achieved weights, deviations, retained samples, recall drills and audit records.
What this checklist does
It scores batch traceability readiness across intake, production, dispatch and quality records, and lists the open gaps so they can be written into an automation or traceability upgrade brief.

Output explanation
The percentage is the share of checks in place. The gap list below is what a supplier or integrator would need to address in an upgrade scope.
- Every incoming delivery receives a unique lot identifier
- Supplier, vehicle, date and certificate of analysis are recorded per lot
- Bin or silo contents are linked to intake lots at all times
- Each batch record references a specific, versioned recipe
- Achieved weights per ingredient are recorded automatically, not by hand
- Out-of-tolerance weighings are logged with the operator response
- Micro-ingredient and premix lots are recorded per batch
- Flushing and sequencing rules between recipes are documented and followed
- Finished batches are linked to bins, bags or bulk loads
- Delivery notes carry a batch or load identifier traceable back to intake
- Retained samples are kept per batch for the defined retention period
- Laboratory results are linked to the batch identifier, not stored separately
- Calibration records for macro, micro and liquid scales are current
- A recall drill has been run in the last 12 months, one step back and one step forward
- Records can be produced for an auditor within one working day
Limitations
- Self-assessment only — no records are verified
- Not financial advice
- Not engineering design
- Not nutrition advice
- Not a compliance certification
- Final scope requires supplier, engineer, nutritionist and local regulatory review
