Current through August 26, 2024
(1) USE OF NON-PROTEIN NITROGEN INGREDIENTS.
No non-protein nitrogen ingredient, such as urea, diammonium phosphate,
ammonium poly-phosphate solution, or ammoniated rice hulls, may be used as a
source of equivalent crude protein in a commercial feed intended for
non-ruminant animals. This subsection does not prohibit the use of non-protein
nitrogen ingredients for other nutrient purposes in a commercial feed intended
for non-ruminant animals, provided that all of the following apply:
(a) The non-protein nitrogen ingredients are
identified in the 2018
Official Publication of the Association of
American Feed Control Officials.
Note: Copies of the Official
Publication of the Association of American Feed Control Officials are
on file with the department and the legislative reference bureau. Paper or
electronic copies may be obtained from AAFCO at www.aafco.org.
(b) The equivalent crude protein incidentally
provided by all of the non-protein nitrogen ingredients does not exceed 1.25%
by weight of the commercial feed.
(c) The crude protein guarantee for the
commercial feed is stated in the following form: "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])."
(2)
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS.
(a) If a commercial feed
for ruminants contains more than 5% protein from natural sources, but also
contains added non-protein nitrogen, its guaranteed analysis shall include the
following guarantee: "Crude protein, minimum,__% (This includes not more
than __% equivalent crude protein from non-protein nitrogen)."
(b) If a commercial feed for ruminants
contains added non-protein nitrogen and not more than 5% protein from natural
sources, its guaranteed analysis shall include the following guarantee:
"Equivalent crude protein from non-protein nitrogen, minimum,
__%".
(c) If a non-protein
nitrogen ingredient is sold as a source of equivalent crude protein for use in
manufacturing commercial feed for ruminants, the guaranteed analysis for that
feed ingredient shall include the following guarantee: "Nitrogen,
minimum, __%, percentage of equivalent crude protein from non-protein nitrogen,
minimum, __%".
(3) USE DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS.
(a) If a commercial feed for
ruminants contains more than 8.75% equivalent crude protein from non-protein
nitrogen, or more than one-third of its total equivalent crude protein from
non-protein nitrogen, it shall be prominently labeled with use directions and
precautionary statements to ensure the safe and effective use of that
commercial feed as a source of equivalent crude protein. The use directions and
precautionary statements shall be introduced by the following prominent
statement or its equivalent: "CAUTION: USE AS DIRECTED."
(b) A commercial feed ingredient containing
more than 1.25 percent equivalent crude protein from non-protein nitrogen
sources, if sold for use in manufacturing commercial feed for non-ruminant
animals, shall be prominently labeled with use directions and precautionary
statements to prevent violations of sub. (1). The use directions and
precautionary statements shall be introduced by the following prominent
statement or its equivalent: "WARNING: THIS FEED MUST BE USED ACCORDING
TO LABEL DIRECTIONS."
(c)
Use directions and precautionary statements required under par. (a) or (b) may
be incorporated in any use directions and precautionary statements required
under s.
ATCP 42.22.
