Feed Law
Feedingstuffs today are increasingly the focus of authorities and competitors. This applies not only to feed that are fed to food-producing animals, according to the motto "from the stable to the table", to be recognized as the first link in the human food chain. Even pet food is subject to strict regulation. In particular, the "correct" labeling of feed is often a book with seven seals. The same applies to separating feedingstuffs from other product categories such as medicinal produts for animals.
