feed ban regulations

Feed ban regulations are rules designed to ensure that livestock and poultry do not consume certain materials that could pose health risks, particularly the risk of diseases like BSE (Mad Cow Disease). These regulations typically prohibit feeding animals parts of other animals, particularly from the same species, to prevent disease transmission. The bans also extend to using by-products from species that could carry contaminants. Overall, these regulations aim to protect animal health, food safety, and public health by maintaining strict standards on what can be used in animal feed.
