The answer

If it is established that additives in fodder cause diseases or harm, then their use is impermissible, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "There is no harm nor reciprocal harm," and his saying: "Whoever cheats us is not of us." However, if they merely cause a change in taste or a reduction in benefit, then there is no objection to their use. Nevertheless, the seller must inform the buyer of this, unless the buyer is already aware of the matter.
