Or. Admin. Code § 603-058-0180 - Non-Protein Nitrogen
(1) Urea and
other non-protein nitrogen products 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 a 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) Feeding or use directions for those feeds
in which more than 50% of the protein content is derived from non-protein
nitrogen sources should include recommendations as to providing adequate
supplies of drinking water, sources of energy, forages being fed, minerals,
adaptation ("warm-up") periods and stress conditions when necessary.
(3) Non-protein nitrogen ingredients, 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.
(4) 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.
