Paragraph 6 Approval of manufacturers and distributors of feedingstuffs containing veterinary medicinal products
It is an offence to incorporate a veterinary medicinal product into a premixture or feedingstuffs, or to act as a distributor of premixtures or feedingstuffs containing a veterinary medicinal product, without being approved to do so by the Secretary of State.
The requirements of this paragraph do not apply in relation to a person who incorporates a veterinary medicinal product into feedingstuffs in domestic premises for feeding, on those premises—
non-food-producing animals, or
food-producing animals kept purely for domestic consumption.
The provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 183/2005 apply to those producers and distributors in the same way as to persons approved under Article 9 of that Regulation.
A manufacturer must ensure that, so far as is reasonably practicable, the veterinary medicinal product is evenly incorporated throughout the feedingstuffs and failure to do so is an offence.
In the case of the refusal, suspension or revocation of an approval under this paragraph the appeals procedure relating to a manufacturing authorisation in paragraph 6 of Schedule 2 applies.
