Regulation aims to strengthen supervision of animal feed

Controls on animal feed will be tightened to ensure animal health amid efforts to restore public confidence in food safety.

Animal raisers face a fine of up to 50,000 yuan ($7,320) for improper use of feed and additives, including practices such as adding illegal materials to animal feed and feed additives, and using meat and bone meal for ruminant livestock feed, according to a draft regulation made public over the weekend to solicit public opinion.
