In the intensive livestock production systems, with decrease in grazing land and intensification of agriculture, the animal feeds are supplemented with by-product of animal origin which are most likely to be contaminated with pesticides, dioxins, radionuclide, heavy metals, bacterial, fungal /mycotoxin contaminants etc., which may, market, it is the need of the hour to produce the livestock products free from contaminants. The feeds and fodders are to be cultivated in lands, which are devoid of heavy metals, radionuclide, industrial wastes, dioxins and other contaminants. The feeds are to be safeguarded from bacterial and fungal contamination from the time of harvest till the animals consume them otherwise chances of heavy health hazard to the human population through consumption of livestock products. As the contaminants can enter the food chain at any stage of livestock production system, a collective and concerted effort is required from agriculture, animal husbandry, feed Industry, animal production industry and food industry experts to give quality and safe foods to the consumers.
