The Feed Additives (Form of Provisional Authorisations) (Cobalt(II) Compounds) (Scotland) Regulations 2023

The Minister for Public Health and Women’s Health has decided to provisionally authorise four cobalt compounds to allow for their continued use in animal feed. 

The Feed Additives (Form of Provisional Authorisations) (Cobalt(II) Compounds) (Scotland) Regulations 2023, Scottish Statutory Instrument (SSI 2023 No.170), provides the prescribed form of these four cobalt compounds. The instrument provides a provisional authorisation period of three years, starting on 15 July 2023. This will allow the four cobalt compounds to continue to be placed on the market, processed and used as well as protect animal health until decisions are made on their applications for full authorisation.

These regulations came into force on 30 June 2023.
