FEED MATERIALS
• Catalogue of feed materials
• Label in descending order –
‘Composition’
• Notify new products to
community register
FEED ADDITIVES
• Community Register of Feed Additives
• Label according to Annexes VI & VII
• Only authorised products
Feed materials or feed additives?Feed materials or feed additives?
• Feed materials – defined in Regulation 767/2009
• What they are
• Feed additives – defined in Regulation 1831/2003
• What they do
• Commission / industry has to develop guidelines
to enable fair differentiation
Premixture or complementary feed?Premixture or complementary feed?
• Any blend, designed for incorporation, containing additives in excess
of the following levels, is a PREMIXTURE by default
AdditiveMultiple of maximum permitted level in
complete feed (when applicable)
Any, except coccidiostats 100x
Coccidiostats 5x

Nutritional Supplements Nutritional Supplements
Dietetic Complementary FeedsDietetic Complementary Feeds
• Only permitted if the product composition fulfils a
‘Particular Nutritional Purpose’ or ‘Intended Use’
listed in the Annex to Directive 2008/38/EC
• The product is not listed, the intended use is!
• FEFAC/FEFANA submitted 13 new or modified
‘intended use’ dossiers to cover existing feed
supplement use
Dietetic Complementary FeedsDietetic Complementary Feeds
• Preparation for oestrus and
reproduction
• Weaning and critical growth
phases
• Skin protection and quality of
appendages
• Reduction of risk of nutritional
imbalance in grazing / forage fed
animals
• Reduction of risk of nutritional
imbalance at specific stages
• Nutritional restoration / appendages
• Preparation for or recuperation
from sport
• Period preceding force-feeding
and during force-feeding
• Nutritional, organoleptic and
technological quality of the
products
• Nutritional restoration /
convalescence
• Reduction of stress due to heat /
overcowding / transport
• Reduction of risk of fatty liver
syndrome

Copper = active component, but also MHA source
• Copper is what animals require, what is controlled with maximum permitted levels and what is analysed.

Additive DeclarationsAdditive Declarations
• For any additive, need to declare relevant ‘other provisions’
indicated in the authorising regulation
• Example copper:
• Sheep feeds where Cu > 10mg/kg: “the level of copper in this
feedingstuff may cause poisoning in certain breeds of sheep”
• Bovine feeds where Cu <20mg/kg: “the level of copper in this
feedingstuff may cause copper deficiencies in cattle grazing
pastures with high contents of molybdenum or sulphur”
AlsoQAlsoQ
• For non-food animals, need only declare ‘preservatives’ ‘antioxidants’ & ‘colourants’ where relevant.
• If additive in more than one functional group, indicate the appropriate one.
• Any specific requirement detailed in the additive authorisationauthorisation
• Feed additives NOT declared (no statutory requirement) must be disclosed on request.• Name
• Identification No
• Functional group
VOLUNTARY declaration of additivesVOLUNTARY declaration of additives
• Voluntary declaration of other additives is
permitted.
• Full declaration as indicated or partial detail
• If NUTRITIONAL or SENSORY additives declared
