Abstract

This Law regulates circulation of animal feedingstuffs. The purpose of this Law is to ensure the circulation of qualitative feedingstuffs harmless to human and animal health and life, and the environment. A person may engage in the circulation of feedingstuffs if the activity of the person with each type of feedingstuffs at any stage and place of feedingstuffs circulation has been approved or registered with the Food and Veterinary Service. The Cabinet shall determine the procedures for the recognition and registration of persons engaged in the circulation of feedingstuffs and the requirements of persons engaged in the circulation of feedingstuffs. The Food and Veterinary Service shall record the approved and registered persons that are engaged in the circulation of feedingstuffs in a list of persons engaged in the circulation of feedingstuffs. It further provides for requirements of persons engaged in the circulation of animal feedingstuffs; procedures for importation and exportation of feedingstuff; and state supervision and control of circulation of feedingstuffs. A person engaged in the circulation of feedingstuffs shall be approved if the person conforms to the specific requirements and produces or prepares compound feedingstuffs for the feeding of animals of the holding thereof, which consist of premixtures containing antibiotics, growth promoters and coccidiostats; and feed materials with increased contamination.
