Feeding animals:[1]
It is forbidden to feed Chametz to even a wild, disowned, animal.[2] It goes without saying that is forbidden to feed Chametz to animals that he owns. Furthermore, it is forbidden to give one’s animal to a gentile caretaker during Pesach, if one knows for certain that the caretaker will feed Chametz to the animal.[3]
