The following additives shall be listed, along with their specific names, identification numbers, added amount and the name of the functional group as laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 or the category referred to in Article 6(1) of that Regulation: (a) additives where a maximum content is set for at least one food producing animal; (b) additives belonging to the categories “zootechnical additives” and “coccidiostats and histomonostats”; (c) additives for which the recommended maximum contents established in the legal act authorising the feed additive are exceeded. The labelling particulars shall be indicated in accordance with the legal act authorising the feed additive in question. The added amount referred to in the first paragraph shall be expressed as the amount of the feed additive except where the legal act authorising the respective feed additive indicates a substance in the column “minimum/maximum content”. In this latter case, the added amount shall be expressed as the amount of that substance. 2. For 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”. 3. The 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: Functional group Name and description Abbreviated name 1h Substances for control of radionuclide contamination: substances that suppress absorption of radionuclides or promote their excretion Radionuclide controllers 1m Substances 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 Mycotoxin reducers 1n Hygiene condition enhancers: substances or, when applicable, microorganisms which favourably affect the hygienic characteristics of feed by reducing a specific microbiological contamination Hygiene improvers 2b Flavouring compounds: substances the inclusion of which in feedingstuffs increase feed smell or palatability. Flavourings 3a Vitamins, pro-vitamins and chemically well-defined substances having similar effect Vitamins 3b Compounds of trace elements Trace elements 3c Amino acids, theirs salts and analogues Amino acids 3d Urea and its derivatives Urea 4c Substances affecting favourably the environment Environment improvers 4.

This provision shall not apply to flavouring compounds. 6. Feed 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. 7. Without 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. 8. If 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. 9. Labelling 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. Chapter II: Labelling of analytical constituents as referred to in Articles 17(1)(f) and 22(1) 1. The analytical constituents of compound feed for food producing animals shall be indicated on the label, preceded by the heading “Analytical constituents”, as follows: Compound feed Target species Analytical constituents and levels Complete feed All species All species All species All species All species All species All species Pigs and poultry Pigs and poultry Crude protein Crude fibre Crude fat Crude ash Calcium Sodium Phosphorus Lysine Methionine Complementary feed — Mineral All species All species All species Pigs and poultry Pigs and poultry Ruminants Calcium Sodium Phosphorus Lysine Methionine Magnesium Complementary feed — Other All species All species All species All species All species All species All species Pigs and poultry Pigs and poultry Ruminants Crude protein Crude fibre Crude fat Crude ash Calcium ≥ 5 % Sodium Phosphorus ≥ 2 % Lysine Methionine Magnesium ≥ 0,5 % 2. Substances indicated under this heading, which are also sensory or nutritional additives, shall be declared along with the total amount thereof. 3. If the energy value and/or protein value are indicated, such indication shall be in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.’ --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2017/2279/annex/division/3 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/eu-regulation-2017-2279/annex/division-3 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
