Ahead of the state Assembly monsoon session scheduled to commence this week, the Gujarat government has introduced a new livestock and poultry feed bill aimed at regulating manufacturing processes and cracking down on product adulteration across the state.
Strict Penalties for Adulterated Feed Products
Under the proposed regulatory framework, the state government plans to enforce stringent legal consequences for manufacturers producing substandard feed. The draft legislation targets the quality and safety of feed supplied to farm animals and poultry.
- Severe Imprisonment: The bill proposes a jail term of up to 10 years in the event that adulterated feed causes the death of livestock or poultry.
- Scope of Regulation: The draft law specifically monitors and governs the manufacturing standards of commercial feeds produced for both livestock and poultry sectors.
Tabling in the Assembly Monsoon Session
The proposed legislative measures are slated for introduction during the Assembly monsoon session starting this week. The regulation aims to safeguard livestock health and hold manufacturers strictly accountable for the safety of their products.
