This includes;

  • companies that transport or store animal feed
  • food manufacturers selling by-products of food production into the feed chain
  • retailers and wholesalers of animal feed (excluding pet food)
  • pharmacists who supply mineral and vitamin supplements for animals

Businesses involved in the production, use, transportation, storage or marketing of animal feeds must be registered or approved by trading standards or another appropriate agency.
