Pakistan-Animal feed mills closed.

PAKISTAN.

TWO ANIMAL FEED PROCESSORS CLOSED.

Capital Feed Mill and HB Feed Mill based in Pakistan, have been closed down by the Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency in regard to contravening health laws.

Both companies are producers of animal feed, mainly for the poultry industry and utilize animal by products in their production.

The plants have been closed under the Environmental Act section 16, whereby they have been accused of causing unnecessary smells and waste material in their production.

Both companies have had warnings, on numerous occasions since 2003 to no avail.

The problems caused by the closures are two fold, one there will be a shortage of poultry feed for farmers and two processing plants, will have to find alternative outlets for waste material.
