Livestock feed controls review: consultation
This consultation focuses on the risk of spreading Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies in livestock feed. The Scottish Government wish to ensure that these controls continue to be effective, proportionate, and based on the latest scientific evidence.
About this consultation
This public consultation covers Scotland. A separate consultation on the same topic will be published by the UK and Welsh Governments, with the intention that any future changes are implemented at the same time across Great Britian. Please respond to the consultation that best reflects your business location.
This consultation is open to everyone. We want to hear most from those who will be directly impacted by the proposals. This includes, but is not limited to, members of the public, livestock keepers, farmers, home compounders, feed mills, renderers, cutting plants, abattoirs, hauliers, industry trade bodies, enforcement officers as well as non-governmental organisations with an interest in livestock feed controls.
This is a consultation on whether Scotland should change its livestock feed controls, to allow:
- Poultry processed animal protein (PAP) in pig feed
- Porcine PAP in poultry feed
- Insect PAP in pig and poultry feed
- Ruminant collagen and gelatine (C&G) in non-ruminant feed.
Duration
This consultation will be open from 3 October 2024 to 26 December 2024.
