What is the ruling on feeding chicken feed, flour, and bread to sheep for the purpose of fattening them, due to the high cost of sheep feed?

The basic principle regarding things is permissibility, and there is no text that prohibits feeding animals with fodder designated for others or with what humans consume. Therefore, it is permissible to give chicken feed to sheep for fattening, or to give bread or flour to livestock, as long as it does not harm humans in their sustenance. For, attending to the needs of humans takes precedence over attending to the needs of livestock.
