Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Feeding food scraps the reality of it all

 

Jeanette, Until Chrissie wrote DEFRA I couldn't find the law either, and it didn't show up in my googling. I do remember the law passing and the related articles. It looks like the law has been further reinforced recently. Because the UK is an islang, they've had to take drastic moves to prevent disease in livestock. I wonder if I planted squash andn tomatoes just for my chickens if that would be considered kitchen waste if I never brought it in to the house. The law sounds really strict and it's clear they mean businenss.

Several articals online stated that they lifted the ban on home scraps because you can handle home scraps safer. Not placing meat with plants. They still do not allow commercial scraps from restaurants and other places to be used. That was my understanding from what I read.
