The article describes the characteristics of modern legislation on the feed labeling, including the provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On Feed Safety and Hygiene». The attention is paid to determining the correspondence of national legislation on feed labeling with EU legislation. It is determined that the positive changes in the field of feed labeling include: dedication to this aspect of a separate section of the Law of Ukraine «On Feed Safety and Hygiene»; definition of the principles of feed labeling; differentiation of labeling into voluntary and mandatory; detailed regulation of general and specific labeling requirements for different types of feed; implementation of the State Catalog of Feed Materials and the State Register of Approvals on the Properties of Feeds for particular nutritional purposes; development of by-laws for the implementation of the provisions of this Law, including the part of feed labeling. It has been established that the updated legislation on feed labeling is entirely in line with international requirements and takes into account the provisions of the European Union acts, in particular, EU Regulation No 767/2009, EU Regulation No 1831/2003, EU Regulation No 1830/2003, and EU Regulation No 1829/2003. It is substantiated that the disadvantage of the new Law of Ukraine «On Feed Safety and Hygiene» is the lack of provisions in it about feed obtained from organic production. The relevant changes to this regulation are proposed.
