What is the purpose of the Code of Federal Regulations?

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) serves as a comprehensive compilation of the general and permanent rules and regulations published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the United States federal government. Its purpose is to organize and make accessible the vast amount of regulatory information created by federal agencies, ensuring that the public and stakeholders can easily find and understand current federal laws covering a wide range of topics. This includes regulations pertinent to public health, safety, environmental protection, and more, reflecting the active role these regulations play in governance and compliance at the federal level.

The other options refer to specific aspects of veterinary practices, state laws, or information regarding animal diseases, none of which capture the broader intention of the CFR, which is aimed at encompassing all federal regulations rather than focusing on a particular field or subject.
