the feeding of farmed animals other than fur animals with catering waste or feed material containing or derived from catering waste;
c
the feeding of farmed animals with herbage, either directly by grazing or by feeding with cut herbage, from land to which organic fertilisers or soil improvers, other than manure, have been applied unless the cutting or grazing takes place after the expiry of a waiting period which ensures adequate control of risks to public and animal health and is at least 21 days; and
d

Measures relating to the following may be laid down:

the checks and controls to be carried out to ensure the application of the prohibitions referred to in paragraph 1, including detection methods and tests to be used to verify the presence of materials originating from certain species and thresholds for insignificant amounts of processed animal proteins referred to in points (a) and (d) of paragraph 1 which are caused by adventitious and technically unavoidable contamination;
b
the conditions for the feeding of fur animals with processed animal protein derived from bodies or parts of bodies of animals of the same species; and
