In this latter case, the added amount shall be expressed as the amount of that substance.\n2.\nFor feed additives of the functional group vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect which must be listed pursuant to point 1, the labelling may indicate the total amount guaranteed during the complete shelf-life under the heading “Analytical constituents” instead of indicating the added amount under the heading “Additives”.\n3.\nThe name of the functional group as referred to in point 1, 4 and 6 may be replaced by the following abbreviation, if such abbreviation is not established in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003:\nFunctional group\nName and description\nAbbreviated name\n1h\nSubstances for control of radionuclide contamination: substances that suppress absorption of radionuclides or promote their excretion\nRadionuclide controllers\n1m\nSubstances for reduction of the contamination of feed by mycotoxins: substances than can suppress or reduce the absorption, promote the excretion of mycotoxins or modify their mode of action\nMycotoxin reducers\n1n\nHygiene condition enhancers: substances or, when applicable, microorganisms which favourably affect the hygienic characteristics of feed by reducing a specific microbiological contamination\nHygiene improvers\n2b\nFlavouring compounds: substances the inclusion of which in feedingstuffs increase feed smell or palatability.\nFlavourings\n3a\nVitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect\nVitamins\n3b\nCompounds of trace elements\nTrace elements\n3c\nAmino acids, theirs salts and analogues\nAmino acids\n3d\nUrea and its derivatives\nUrea\n4c\nSubstances affecting favourably the environment\nEnvironment improvers\n4.\nFeed additives emphasised on the labelling in words, pictures or graphics shall be indicated in accordance with point 1 or 2, as applicable.\n5.\nThe person responsible for the labelling shall disclose the names, the identification number and the functional group of the feed additives not mentioned in point 1, 2 and 4 to the purchaser at his request. This provision shall not apply to flavouring compounds.\n6.\nFeed additives not mentioned in points 1, 2 and 4 may be voluntarily indicated at least with their name or, in the case of flavouring compounds, at least with their functional group.\n7.\nWithout prejudice to point 6, where a sensory or nutritional feed additive is labelled on a voluntary basis, its added amount shall be indicated in accordance with points 1 or 2, as applicable.\n8.\nIf an additive belongs to more than one of the functional groups, the functional group or category appropriate to its principal function in the case of the feed in question shall be indicated.\n9.\nLabelling particulars concerning the proper use of feed materials and compound feed which are laid down in the legal act authorising the feed additive in question shall be indicated.\nChapter II: Labelling of analytical constituents as referred to in Articles 17(1)(f) and 22(1)\n1.\nThe analytical constituents of compound feed for food producing animals shall be indicated on the label, preceded by the heading “Analytical constituents”, as follows:\nCompound feed\nTarget species\nAnalytical constituents and levels\nComplete feed\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nPigs and poultry\nPigs and poultry\nCrude protein\nCrude fibre\nCrude fat\nCrude ash\nCalcium\nSodium\nPhosphorus\nLysine\nMethionine\nComplementary feed — Mineral\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nPigs and poultry\nPigs and poultry\nRuminants\nCalcium\nSodium\nPhosphorus\nLysine\nMethionine\nMagnesium\nComplementary feed — Other\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nAll species\nPigs and poultry\nPigs and poultry\nRuminants\nCrude protein\nCrude fibre\nCrude fat\nCrude ash\nCalcium ≥ 5 %\nSodium\nPhosphorus ≥ 2 %\nLysine\nMethionine\nMagnesium ≥ 0,5 %\n2.\nSubstances indicated under this heading, which are also sensory or nutritional additives, shall be declared along with the total amount thereof.\n3.\nIf the energy value and/or protein value are indicated, such indication shall be in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.’",
