Frequently Asked Questions|
The composition and safety of animal feeding stuffs is fundamental to food safety and is paramount in the requirement to safeguard our own food "from plough to plate".
We make sure that fertilisers and feeding stuffs comply with legal requirements, in particular, compliance with the 1970 Agriculture Act. We check:
-
Quality

Composition

Presentation.
We can inspect and take samples of animal feed and raw materials used in animal feed throughout North Ayrshire.
