Utah Admin. Code R68-2-9 - Non-protein Nitrogen
(1)
(a) Urea and other non-protein nitrogen
products defined in the Official Publication are acceptable ingredients only in
commercial feeds for ruminant animals as a source of equivalent crude
protein.
(b) If the commercial feed
contains more than 8.75% of equivalent crude protein from any form of
non-protein nitrogen, or the equivalent crude protein from any form of
non-protein nitrogen and added as listed, 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."
(c) The directions for use and the caution
statement shall be of adequate type size and be placed on the label in a manner
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 providing adequate supplies of
drinking water, sources of energy, forages being fed, minerals, adaptation,
"warm-up" periods and stress conditions when necessary.
(3)
(a)
Non-protein nitrogen as defined in the Official Publication, when so indicated,
are acceptable ingredient in commercial feeds distributed to non-ruminant
animals as a source of nutrients other than equivalent crude protein.
(b) The maximum equivalent crude protein from
non-protein nitrogen sources when used in non-ruminant rations may not exceed
1.25% of the total daily ration.
(4) On labels for medicated feeds that bear
adequate feeding directions or warning statements, the presence of added
non-protein nitrogen may not require a duplication of the feeding directions or
the precautionary statements if those statements include sufficient information
to ensure the safe and effective use of the product due to the presence of
non-protein nitrogen.
