Activities exempt from the approval and registration requirements

- the feeding of food-producing animals kept for private domestic consumption;
- the feeding of animals not kept for food production;
- the direct supply of small quantities¹ of primary production of feed at local² level by a producer to local farms for use on those farms;
¹ Regulation 183/2005 does not define “small quantities”. However, a working definition of primary production of feed is less than 20 tonnes per annum.
² For consistency with the interpretation of “local” adopted by the Food Standards Agency in the context of food hygiene legislation, this term should be taken to mean “sales within the supplying establishment’s own county plus the greater of either the neighbouring county or counties or 30 miles/50 kilometres from the boundary of the supplying establishment’s county”.
