Bangladesh plans to regulate feed

The Bangladeshi parliament is planning to draft two laws to regulate fish and animal feed production, according to The Financial Express of Bangladesh.
The Fish and Poultry Feed Act and the Hatchery Act are intended to end the sale of sub-standard and adulterated fish and animal feed, and to prevent the entry of unregulated antibiotics into the food chain, said Md Sharful Alam, secretary of the country's Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock.
The new laws are expected to create a licensing system for all feed manufacturers and suppliers and require labels on all feed and feed ingredients that include manufacture date, expiration date and ingredients.
