These Regulations, which cover the marketing of all feeding stuffs other than exceptions specified in regulation 3, lay down quality, labelling and packing requirements for straight and compound feeding stuffs, as well as official methods of sampling and analysis. A person shall not market a straight feeding stuff unless conditions set out in regulation 5 are observed and shall not market compound feeding stuff unless conditions set out in regulation 6 are observed.
