(a) Urea and other non-protein nitrogen products as adopted by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), and published in the AAFCO Official Publication, 2019 edition, available as noted in Appendix A, shall be used as 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 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 as follows:

"CAUTION: USE AS DIRECTED."

(c) The directions for use and the caution statement shall be in type of such size so placed on the label that they can be read and understood by ordinary persons under customary conditions of purchase and use.

(d) Non-protein nitrogen as adopted by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), and published in the AAFCO Official Publication, 2019 edition, available as noted in Appendix A, may be used as 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.

(e) On labels such as those for medicated feeds which bear adequate feeding directions or warning statements, the presence of added non-protein nitrogen shall not duplicate 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.
