BETA NOPS

The highly successful NOPS scheme was set up in 2009 to help reduce the risk of naturally occurring prohibited substances (NOPS) in equine feed and is run solely by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA).

Devenish are independently audited to the BETA NOPS Code, annually. This demonstrates our commitment to reducing the risk of disqualification from Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances in Feed.
