Full title and description

GOST R 51848-2001 — "Продукция комбикормовая. Термины и определения" (English: Compound feed production. Terms and definitions). This national standard defines the terminology used in the production, classification and documentation of compound feed products.

Abstract

This standard establishes terms and definitions for compound feed production, including names and definitions of types of compound feed, feed ingredients, premixes, feed additives, and key quality and nutritive-value concepts used in technical documentation, labeling and regulatory work in the feed sector. It is intended to harmonize language and reduce ambiguity in technical, regulatory and commercial documents related to compound feeds.

Scope

The standard applies to terminology and definitions in the field of compound‑feed production. Terms established by this standard are mandatory for use in all types of documentation and literature on compound‑feed products within the scope of standardization activities and for documents that use the results of such work. It does not set performance requirements for feeds, but standardizes language used in technical specifications, labeling, regulatory acts and industry communication.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of compound‑feed product, feedstuff (raw material), compound feed, full‑ration compound feed and related categories.
• Classification and naming rules for premixes, feed additives and microcomponents (vitamins, microelements, enzymes, etc.).
• Terms describing quality and nutritive value (e.g., energy value, metabolizable/exchange energy, protein/biologically active substances).
• Standardized terms for documentation, labeling and conformity/acceptance language used in procurement, production and testing records.
• Annexes/indexes providing alphabetical listings and cross‑references for consistent term usage.

Typical use and users

Primary users are compound‑feed manufacturers, feed formulators, quality laboratories, standards bodies, regulatory authorities, certification bodies, feed technologists, veterinarians, agricultural extension services, and technical authors preparing specifications, labels and regulatory documents. The standard is used where precise and harmonized terminology is required for contracts, technical descriptions, labeling and regulatory compliance.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced together with ГОСТ Р 51848-2001 include national consumer‑information and labeling standards for feeds (for example, ГОСТ Р 51849-2001 "Compound feed — Information for purchaser / consumer. General requirements") and other GOST/GOST R documents covering labeling, marking and conformity marks such as ГОСТ 14192-96 and ГОСТ Р 50460-92, which are cited in related feed industry standards and normative references.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers terminology — definitions of compound feed, feed ingredients, premixes, additives, quality and nutritive‑value concepts, and rules for applying these terms in documentation and labeling. It does not prescribe technical limits or compositional requirements for feeds.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Feed producers, formulators, laboratories, certifying bodies, regulators, technical writers and others who need consistent, authoritative terminology in the feed industry.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the set of GOST/GOST R standards that regulate compound feed production and related information (for example, standards on information for purchasers, labeling, acceptance rules and packaging). Related documents (such as ГОСТ Р 51849-2001) provide complementary requirements for labeling and consumer information.
