Andrew McCormick A senior officer of the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety 14 SCHEDULE 1 Regulation 2(1) and Schedule 3 METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ENERGY VALUE OF COMPOUND FEEDS The energy value of compound poultry, ruminant and pig feeds and feeding stuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes for cats and dogs shall be calculated in accordance with the relevant formulae set out below, on the basis of the percentages of certain analytical components of the feed. After application of these formulae, the results shall be given to one decimal place. Poultry feeds: megajoules (MJ) of metabolisable energy (ME), nitrogen corrected, per kilogram of compound feed. MJ of ME/kg of feed = 0.1551 � % protein(1) + 0.3431 � % oil(2) + 0.1669 � % starch(3) + 0.1301 � % total sugar (expressed as sucrose)(4). Ruminant feeds: megajoules (MJ) of metabolisable energy (ME) per kilogram of dry matter in the compound feed. MJ of ME/kg of dry matter = 0.14 � % Neutral detergent Cellulase plus Gamanase Digestibility(5) + 0.25 � % oil(2). Pig feeds: megajoules (MJ) of digestible energy (DE) per kilogram of dry matter in the compound feed. MJ of DE/kg of dry matter = 17.47 + 0.079 � % protein(1) + 0.158 � % oil(2) — 0.331 � % ash(6) — 0.140 Neutral Detergent plus Amylase Fibre(5). (NB) Where the results of analysis are to be given on a dry matter basis, this may be achieved by analysing either the dried material, or fresh material and correcting for the moisture content. (1) Determined by the method of analysis for protein specified in Point 2 of Annex 1 to Directive 72/199/EEC(a). (NB) For pig feed the results must be corrected to 100% dry matter. (2) Determined by the appropriate procedure set out in the method of analysis for oils and fats specified in Part IV of the Annex to Directive 71/393/EEC(b). (NB) In ruminant and pig feeds the result must be corrected to 100% dry matter. (3) Determined by the method of analysis for starch specified in Point 1 of Annex 1 to Directive 72/199/EEC(c). (4) Determined by the method of analysis for sugar specified in Point 12 of the Annex to Directive 71/250/EEC(d). (5) Determined by the method detailed in the booklet “Prediction of Energy Values of Compound Feeding Stuffs for Farm Animals” (originally published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Publications, now available from the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under reference No. PB1285). (6) Determined by the method of analysis for ash specified in Point 5 of the Annex to Directive 71/250/EEC(e). (NB) The result must be corrected to 100% dry matter. 15 (a) O.J.

Where there is more than one group of nutritional characteristics indicated in column 2 of Chapter A, denoted by “and/or”, for the same nutritional purpose, the feeding stuff may have either or both groups in order to fulfil the nutritional purpose specified in column 1. 2. Where a group of additives is mentioned in column 2 or column 4 of Chapter A, the additive(s) used must be authorised as corresponding to the specified essential characteristic. 3. Where the source(s) of feed materials or of analytical constituents is/are required in column 4 of Chapter A the manufacturer must make a specific declaration (i.e. specific name of the feed material(s), animal species or part of the animal) allowing the evaluation of conformity of the feeding stuff with the corresponding essential nutritional characteristics. 4. Where the declaration of a substance, also authorised as an additive, is required by column 4 of Chapter A and is accompanied by the expression “total”, the declared content must refer to, as appropriate, the quantity naturally present where none is added or the total quantity of the substance naturally present and the amount added as an additive. 5. The declarations specified in column 4 of Chapter A which include the words “if added” are required where the feed material or the additive has been incorporated or its content increased specifically to enable the achievement of the particular nutritional purpose. 6. The declarations to be given in accordance with column 4 of Chapter A concerning analytical constituents and additives must be expressed in quantitative terms. 7. The recommended period of use indicated in column 5 of Chapter A indicates a range within which the nutritional purpose should normally be achieved. Manufacturers may refer to more precise periods of use, within the permitted range. 8. Where a feeding stuff is intended to meet more than one particular nutritional purpose, it must comply with the corresponding entries in Chapter A. 9. In the case of a complementary feeding stuff intended for a particular nutritional purpose, guidance on the balance of the daily ration must be provided in the instructions for use.

These Regulations— (a) largely revoke and replace the Feeding Stuffs Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 as amended, (“the 2001 Regulations”); (b) introduce new provisions to enforce and administer Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (“the Additives Regulation”); and (c) implement Commission Directive 2004/116/EC amending the Annex to Council Directive 82/471/EEC as regards the inclusion of Candida guilliermondii. They provide for the implementation or as the case may be the continuing implementation of the EC Directives and Decision listed at paragraph 11 below. 2. The Regulations apply to farmed creatures and pet animals and in regulation 14 also to animals living freely in the wild. 3. The Regulations preserve the modifications made to the Agriculture Act 1970 (“the Act”) by regulations 18 and 19 of the 2001 Regulations, with the minor drafting amendment that the definition of “pet animal” is made explicit rather than by reference to EC legislation (regulations 3 and 4). 4. They continue to prescribe the material that is “prescribed material” for the purposes of sections 68(1) and 69(1) of the Act as any material useable as a feeding stuff (regulation 5). Under those sections, sellers of prescribed materials are required to give to purchasers “statutory statements” covering the composition of the material and information on storage, handling and use. Material held for sale must be marked with such information. 5. They revoke with certain exceptions the provisions of the 2001 Regulations, which were last amended by S.R. 2004 No. 443, and re-enact the majority of those provisions. 6. Part 2 of these Regulations deals with the presentation and composition of feeding stuffs. The content of the statutory statement and other declarations are prescribed by regulation 8 and Schedule 3 and their form by regulation 9. (The labelling of additives and premixtures not mixed with feeding stuffs is now regulated directly by Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003). 7. The Regulations with minor drafting amendments re-enact provisions of the 2001 Regulations so as to— (a) prescribe the limits of inaccuracy permitted in the declaration of ingredients (regulation 10 and Schedule 4); (b) attribute meanings to the names of certain materials for the purposes of section 70 of the Act (which creates an implicit warranty that material described by a name to which a meaning has been assigned under that section accords with the meaning (regulation 11); (c) prescribe the way in which compound feeds may be sealed and packaged (regulation 12); (d) regulate the putting into circulation and use of feed materials (regulation 13 and Schedule 2); (e) restrict the putting into circulation or use of feeding stuffs containing specified undesirable substances (regulation 14 and Schedule 5); (f) prohibit the putting into circulation or use of any feeding stuff containing certain prescribed substances (regulation 15); (g) control the marketing and use of certain protein sources and non-protein nitrogenous compounds in feeds (regulation 16 and Schedule 6); (h) regulate the iron content of milk replacer feeds (regulation 17); 88 (i) prohibit the putting into circulation of compound feeding stuffs in which the amount of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid exceeds specified levels (regulation 18); and (j) control the marketing of feeds intended for particular nutritional purposes (dietetics) (regulation 19 and Schedule 7). 8. These Regulations provide for the implementation of Commission Directive 2004/116/EC by including Candida guilliermondii among the substances authorised and regulated by regulation 16 and Schedule 6, and in regulation 20 provide for the execution and enforcement of the Additives Regulation by— (a) making it an offence not to comply with certain specified requirements in the Additives Regulation (paragraphs (1) and (2)); (b) giving effect to the transitional arrangements in the Additives Regulation relating to products already on the market that were authorised under superseded EC legislation (paragraph (3)); and (c) giving effect to the transitional arrangements in the Additives Regulation relating to applications for authorisation under the superseded EC legislation that were still being processed at the date of application of the Additives Regulation. 9. Part 3 of these Regulations deals with enforcement. It re-enacts provisions in the 2001 Regulations that— (a) provide for the enforcement of requirements where the legal basis is the European Communities Act 1972 by linking such requirements to enforcement provisions in the Act (regulation 21). (b) modify section 74A of the Act and provide for offences and penalties in relation to matters covered by the Regulations that would not otherwise come within that section (regulation 22); and (c) amend the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 in the same way as that expressed as a modification in the 2001 Regulations, and also make consequential amendments to the 1999 Regulations mentioned above (regulation 23). 10. The EC Directives implemented by these Regulations are— (a) Council Directive 70/524/EEC (O.J. No. L270, 14.12.70, p. 1) concerning additives in feedingstuffs, (to the extent that its measures are preserved by Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No. 1756/2002 (O.J.
