Abstract

The 1991 Order prohibited the sale and supply for feeding to poultry of feedingstuffs and the feeding to poultry of such feedingstuffs unless the feedingstuffs were first heat treated. This prohibition is now omitted. As a consequence, provision on separation of heat treated feedingstuffs from such feedingstuffs and their ingredients also no longer apply. Instead this Order imposes requirements as to the storage and transport of feedingstuffs and ingredients to ensure, in particular, that access thereto by vermin is prevented. The Order also imposes certain record keeping requirements on those who are involved in the manufacture, sale, supply, collection, holding, use or removal of manufactured poultry feedingstuffs or their ingredients. Any person who without lawful authority or excuse, proof of which shall lie on him, contravenes any provision of the Order shall be guilty of an offence against the Diseases of Animals (Northern Ireland) Order 1981.
