   B.   Each animal is fed at least once each day, except as otherwise required to provide adequate care.
   C.   The food provided to an animal is wholesome, palatable, free from contamination, and of sufficient quality and nutritive value to meet the normal daily requirements for the animal, based upon its condition and size.
   D.   Supplies of perishable food are to be adequately refrigerated or properly stored to prevent spoilage.
   E.   Containers of food are:
      1.   Durable, except that disposable receptacles may be used if they are discarded after each feeding; and
