Abstract

The Act provides the requirements for feed, handling and use of feed and the requirements for organising state supervision over the compliance of feed with safety and other requirements in order to ensure the harmlessness thereof in terms of human and animal health and to the environment, and the favourable effect thereof on animals and animal products. The Act also lays down rules for notification and licencing, the national register of food and feed business operators, taking samples and analysis, and liability for violating the requirements of the Act. For the application of measures regarding feed, the minister responsible for the area may, within his or her competence, enact legislation regarding issues in which a Member State has the right to decide according to the legislation of the European Union.
