Farming - Mixing Registration for Feeding Stuffs



Description

On-farm mixers must register with the County Council's Trading Standards Service. Farmers who produce compound feeding stuffs for the exclusive use of their holding, need to be registered if they put certain additives like vitamins or trace elements into their feed, or if they include certain pre-mixtures containing vitamins or trace elements, or if they mix in bought-in feeds that contain these additives or pre-mixtures. This new law stems from the implementation of a European Directive seeking to control activities which are considered potentially hazardous to animals, humans or the environment, although these registration provisions govern products considered less sensitive.
