Why are they having to do this?

Has there been some type of horrible event that has caused the new regulation?

Have to click through:

Leftover brewing grains have been fed to livestock since the dawn of agriculture, so this is a pretty radical shift. The proposed new requirements for animal feed handling stipulate that the feed has to be dried, analyzed and packaged before being donated to farmers (the spent grains are generally given away at the end of the brewing process), at substantial expense.

Still not enough information, but this already sounds like a giant waste of time for everyone involved. But the FDA probably gets to analyze it!

As a home brewer I will add my 2 cents. Hops are known to be bad for dogs. Could be they are bad for livestock as well, but people generally care more about the family pet than an animal bred for slaughter. This may be the result of some push for "humane" treatment.

That's my best guess. I would've loved to compost my brew waste (and grow my own hops too) but no way I risk killing one of the dogs or cats over it.
