Animal Feed Ban

The Animal Feed Ban is a regulation that prohibits the use of certain animal by-products, such as brain and spinal cord tissue, in livestock feed. This measure is designed to prevent the spread of diseases like Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease. By restricting these materials from animal feed, authorities aim to protect public health and ensure the safety of the food supply. The ban helps minimize the risk of disease transmission among cattle and other ruminants, contributing to safer livestock and food products.
