PUTRAJAYA - The halal certification by the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) is focused on food for human consumption and does not cover animal feed, said the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS).

In a statement issued today, DVS said the halal logo cannot be used on labels for animal feed.

The statement was issued in response to an article by one Dr Saari of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) on the halal status of poultry feed which went viral on WhatsApp.

According to DVS, the writing by 'Dr Saari' was over an issue that was highlighted in 2007 and Jakim had responded to the matter on June 20, 2016.

DVS said the production of poultry feed is subject to the Feed Act 2009 which regulates the quality of animal feed by controlling the importation, manufacture, sale and use of animal feed and animal feed additives.
