guarantees for crude protein, equivalent crude protein from non-protein
nitrogen, lysine, methionine, other amino acids, crude fat, crude fiber, and
other fiber indicators shall be in terms of percentage.
(2) Mineral Guarantees:
(a) When the calcium, salt, and sodium
guarantees are given in the guaranteed analysis such shall be stated and
conform to the following:
(A) When the minimum
is below 2.5%, the maximum shall not exceed the minimum by more than 0.5
percentage points;
(B) When the
minimum is 2.5% but less than 5.0%, the maximum shall not exceed the minimum by
more than one percentage point;
(C)
When the minimum is above 5.0% or greater the maximum shall not exceed the
minimum by more than 20% of the minimum and in no case shall the maximum exceed
the minimum by more than five percentage points.
(b) When stated, guarantees for minimum and
maximum total sodium, and salt: minimum potassium, magnesium, sulfur,
phosphorus and maximum fluoride shall be in terms of percentage. Other minimum
mineral guarantees shall be stated in parts per million (ppm) when the
concentration is less than 10,000 ppm and in percentage when the concentration
is 10,000 ppm (1%) or greater;
(c)
Products labeled with a quantity statement (e.g., tablets, capsules, granules
or liquid) may state mineral guarantees in milligrams (mg) per unit (e.g.,
tablets, capsules, granules, or liquids) consistent with the quantity statement
and directions for use.
(3) Guarantees for minimum vitamin content of
commercial feeds shall be listed in the order specified and are stated in
mg/lb. or in units consistent with those employed for the quantity statement
unless otherwise specified:
(a) Vitamin A,
other than precursors of vitamin A, in International Units per pound;
(b) Vitamin D-3 in products offered for
poultry feeding, in International Chick Units per pound;
(c) Vitamin D for other uses, International
Units per pound;
(d) Vitamin E, in
International Units per pound;
(e)
Concentrated oils and feed additive premixes containing vitamins A, D and/or E
may, at the option of the distributor be stated in units per gram instead of
units per pound;
(f) Vitamin B-12,
in milligrams or micrograms per pound;
(g) All other vitamin guarantees shall
express the vitamin activity in milligrams per pound in terms of the following:
menadione, riboflavin, d-pantothenic acid, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B-6, folic
acid, choline, biotin, inositol, p-amino benzoic acid, ascorbic acid, and
carotene.
(4) Guarantees
for drugs shall be stated in terms of percent by weight, except:
(a) Antibiotics, present at less than 2,000
grams per ton (total) of commercial feed shall be stated in grams per ton of
commercial feed;
(b) Antibiotics
present at 2,000 or more grams per ton (total) of commercial feed shall be
stated in grams per pound of commercial feed;
(c) The term "milligrams per pound" may be
used for drugs or antibiotics in those cases where a dosage is given in
"milligrams" in the feeding directions.
(5) Commercial feeds containing any added
non-protein nitrogen shall be labeled as follows:
(a) For ruminants:
(A) Complete feeds, supplements, and
concentrates containing added non-protein nitrogen and containing more than 5%
protein from natural sources shall be guaranteed as follows: Crude Protein,
minimum, % (This includes not more than % equivalent crude protein from
non-protein nitrogen);
(B) Mixed
feed concentrates and supplements containing less than 5% protein from natural
sources may be guaranteed as follows: Equivalent Crude Protein from Non-Protein
Nitrogen, minimum, %;
(C)
Ingredient sources of non-protein nitrogen such as Urea, Diammonium Phosphate,
Ammonium Polyphosphate Solution, Ammoniated Rice Hulls, or other basic
non-protein nitrogen ingredients shall be guaranteed as follows: Nitrogen,
minimum %; Equivalent Crude Protein from Non-Protein Nitrogen, minimum
%.
(b) For
non-ruminants:
(A) Complete feeds, supplements
and concentrates containing crude protein from all forms of non-protein
nitrogen, added as such, shall be labeled as follows: Crude protein, minimum %
(This includes not more than % equivalent crude protein which is not
nutritionally available to (species of animal for which feed is
intended);
(B) Premixes,
concentrates or supplements intended for non-ruminants containing more than
1.25% equivalent crude protein from all forms of non-protein nitrogen, added as
such, must contain adequate directions for use and a prominent statement:
"WARNING: This feed must be used only in accordance with directions furnished
on the label."
(6) Mineral phosphoric materials for feeding
purposes shall be labeled with the guarantee for minimum and maximum percentage
of calcium (when present), the minimum percentage of phosphorus, and the
maximum percentage of fluorine.
(7)
Guarantees for microorganisms shall be stated and conform to the following:
(a) Colony forming units per gram (CFU/g) or
per pound (CFU/lb.) consistent with the directions for use, or CFU per product
unit (e.g., tablets, capsules, liquids) consistent with directions for use and
the quantity statement.
(b) A
parenthetical statement following the guarantee shall list each species in
order of predominance.
(8) Guarantees for enzymes shall be stated
and conform to the following:
(a) Units of
enzymatic activity per unit weight or volume consistent with the directions for
use, or Units of enzymatic activity per product unit (e.g., tablets, capsules)
consistent with the directions for use and the quantity statement.
(b) The source organism for each type of
enzymatic activity shall be specified, such as: Protease (Bacillus
subtilis) 5.5 mg amino acids liberated/min./milligram. If two or more
sources have the same type of activity, they shall be listed in order of
predominance based on the amount of enzymatic activity provided.
(9) Guarantees for dietary starch,
sugars, and fructans for Commercial Feeds, other than customer formula feed:
(a) A commercial feed which bears on its
labeling a claim in any manner for levels of "dietary starch," "sugars,"
"fructans," or words of similar designation, shall include on the label:
(A) Guarantees for maximum percentage of
dietary starch and maximum percentage sugars, in the Guaranteed Analysis
section immediately following the last fiber guarantee;
(B) A maximum percentage guarantee for
fructans immediately following sugars, if the feed contains forage
products;
(b) When such
guarantees for dietary starch, sugars, or fructans for commercial feeds appear
on the label, feeding directions shall indicate the proper use of the feed
product and a recommendation to consult with a veterinarian or nutritionist for
a recommended diet.
