The Orissa Cattle and Poultry Feed (Regulation) Act, 1979
The Orissa Cattle and Poultry Feed (Regulation) Act, 1979, establishes a regulatory framework for the manufacturing, processing, and sale of pre-mixed cattle and poultry feed within the State of Orissa. The Act mandates that any person engaged in the commercial production of these feeds must obtain a license from the designated licensing authority. It sets strict quality standards, requires proper labeling and packaging, and empowers authorities to inspect premises, seize non-compliant products, and enforce safety regulations. For the ordinary citizen, this legislation serves as a consumer protection mechanism, ensuring that livestock feed is safe, accurately labeled, and nutritionally sound.
