Animals?

Animals - all animals have their own particular requirements for space and feed and it is important to get the ratios right. The literature in this field is rather inadequate and so it is worth going into it in some detail. One important thing to realise is that selling animals or animal products is very strictly controlled and the legal requirements strictly enforced: They are briefly referred to in the section 'Law and the Countryside' but it is important to consult your local MAFF office and become fully acquainted with the legal aspects.
