For pets, specialized folding fencing referred to as an exercise pen, x-pen, or ex-pen, is used to surround an area, usually outdoors but not always, in which the animals can freely move around.

They can transform low-value organic wastes, are nutritious and have low environmental impacts.

In the United States, this risk is relatively low as feeding of protein sources from any ruminant to another ruminant has been banned since 1997. [43] The problem becomes more complicated as other feedstuffs containing animal by-products are still allowed to be fed to other non-ruminants (chickens, cats, dogs, horses, pigs, etc.).
