Sindicato Nacional da Indústria de Alimentação Animal - Sindirações

What Sindicato Nacional da Indústria de Alimentação Animal - Sindirações does

Sindirações is the official national union (sindicato) representing the Brazilian animal feed industry, founded in 1953 and headquartered on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo. The organization represents more than 90% of Brazil's national animal feed production through its membership base of over 90 associated companies, which span global majors (BRF, JBS Seara, Cargill/Nutron, Nestlé Purina, Royal Canin, Mars, DSM, BASF, ADM), domestic feed manufacturers, premix and additive specialists, and agricultural cooperatives.

Its core activities center on three pillars: (1) publishing the Compêndio Brasileiro de Alimentação Animal — a unique reference compendium sold to members at R$ 1,500 and non-members at R$ 1,800 in physical and digital formats; (2) delivering a portfolio of six recurring technical training courses (APPCC, BPF, Regulatory Affairs, Supplier Evaluation, PCQI, and Medication Use) aligned with Codex Alimentarius 2020 and FDA FSPCA standards, priced at R$ 925–R$ 3,305 for members; and (3) convening industry events (SIAVS, AveSui, 59ª Reunião da SBZ) and producing the periodic Boletim Informativo do Setor newsletter.

The business model combines recurring subscription-like membership dues, one-time Compendium license sales, and per-seat professional services training fees. Sindirações also acts as the statutory bargaining representative in collective labor agreements (Convenção Coletiva) with worker federations such as FTIA/PR and FEAPAR, and as the recognized voice of the sector in regulatory advocacy with MAPA, MDIC, and the Ministry of Labor. Strategic partnerships with FIESP, Embrapa, SENAI, ABPA, and ASBRAM extend its reach into research, innovation, and adjacent protein value chains.
