What is the main concern addressed by the Feeds Act?

The primary concern addressed by the Feeds Act is the prevention of contamination of livestock feed. This legislation is crucial for ensuring that all feed used for livestock is safe, nutritious, and free from harmful substances that could affect animal health or contaminate the food supply. By maintaining standards and regulations, the Feeds Act helps to protect the integrity of animal feed, thereby safeguarding public health and the agricultural sector.

Monitoring food pesticide levels, regulating feed additives, and restricting feed transportation, while related to the broader context of food safety and agricultural practices, do not directly encompass the main focus of the Feeds Act. The act specifically targets the quality and safety of feed products, ensuring that they do not present risks to livestock or humans consuming products from those animals.
