Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 40-5-3-.01 - Non-Protein Nitrogen
(1)
Urea and other non-protein nitrogen products defined in the Official
Publication of the Association of American Feed Control Officials are
acceptable ingredients only in commercial feeds for ruminant animals as a
source of equivalent crude protein. If the commercial feed contains more than
8.75% of equivalent crude protein from all forms of non-protein nitrogen, added
as such, or the equivalent crude protein from all forms of non-protein
nitrogen, added as such, exceeds one-third of the total crude protein, the
label shall bear adequate directions for the safe use of feeds and a
precautionary statement: "CAUTION: USE AS DIRECTED." The directions for use and
the caution statement shall be in type of such size so placed on the label that
they will be read and understood by ordinary persons under customary conditions
of purchase and use.
(2)
Non-protein nitrogen defined in the Official Publication of the Association of
American Feed Control Officials, when so indicated, are acceptable ingredients
in commercial feeds distributed to non-ruminant animals as a source of
nutrients other than equivalent crude protein. The maximum equivalent crude
protein from non-protein nitrogen sources when used in non-ruminant rations
shall not exceed 1.25% of the total daily ration.
(3) On labels such as those for medicated
feeds which bear adequate feeding directions and/or warning statements, the
presence of added non-protein nitrogen shall not require a duplication of the
feeding directions or the precautionary statements as long as those statements
include sufficient information to ensure the safe and effective use of this
product due to the presence of non-protein nitrogen.
