Mixing registration for feeding stuffs

Please tell us what you think about our website, we welcome your feedback.

On-farm mixers must register with their 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 new European directive seeking to control activities which are considered potentially hazardous to animals, humans or the environment.
