Legal policy in the field of ensuring the safety of animal feed and feed additives

Abstract

Introduction. In the conditions of modern international reality, when the Russian Federation needs to develop branches of the agro-industrial complex to strengthen food independence from other countries, it is necessary to focus the state’s efforts on ensuring proper organization of agricultural production, including its compliance with the necessary requirements, one ofwhich is the requirements for ensuring the safety of animal feed and feed additives. Materials and Methods. The research was facilitated by the use of general scientific methodology (system-structural, logical, cybernetic methods) and the formal legal method. The formulated proposals are based on the study of scientific literature, which considered topical issues of legal policy, the legal organization of the agro-industrial complex and control and supervisory activities, as well as analytical materials reflecting modern problems of ensuring the safety of feed and feed additives for farm animals. Analysis. The main areas of analysis are the problems of ensuring the safety of feed and feed additives for farm animals by identifying factors that hinder the optimization of legal regulation in the field of veterinary medicine. Results. The improvement of legal regulation in the field of ensuring the safety of feed and feed additives for animals is complicated by the inconsistency of the state’s position with the approaches adopted in the field of agricultural sciences to determine the content of the concepts key to ensuring the safety of the products in question. In this regard, it is advisable to correct the legislation on veterinary medicine in the relevant part, eliminating the need for registration of premixes and feed concentrates.
