      STATUTORY AUTHORITY:

KRS 250.571

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION,

AND CONFORMITY: KRS 250.571(1) authorizes the Director of the Agricultural

Experiment Station to promulgate administrative regulations necessary for the

efficient enforcement of KRS 250.491 to 250.631, regarding commercial feeds.

KRS 250.521(1)(c) requires that a commercial feed label list the common or

usual name of each ingredient used in the manufacture of the commercial feed,

unless the director promulgates an administrative regulation permitting the use

of a collective term for a group of ingredients. This administrative regulation

establishes the requirements for listing the ingredients on the commercial feed

label.

 

      Section 1. Commercial

feeds, other than customer formula feeds, shall have an ingredient statement

listing the feed ingredients, collective terms for the grouping of feed

ingredient or other appropriate statement as provided under provisions of KRS

250.521(1)(c).

      (1) The name of each

ingredient or collective term for the grouping of ingredients, if required to

be listed, shall be the name as defined in the "Official Definitions of

Feed Ingredients" as published in the Official Publication of the

Association of American Feed Control Officials, the common or usual name, or

one approved by the director.

      (2) The ingredient

statement may list the collective terms for the grouping of feed ingredients as

defined in the official definitions of feed ingredients published in the Official

Publication of the Association of American Feed Control Officials rather than

the individual ingredients.

      (a) If a collective

term for a group of ingredients is used on the label, individual ingredients

within that group shall not be listed on the label.

      (b) The manufacturer

shall provide the Director of Regulatory Services, upon written or oral

request, with a listing of individual ingredients within a defined group that

are or have been used in manufacturing facilities distributing in Kentucky. The

manufacturer shall be specific in its response when the request is made of a

particular facility or production.

 

      Section 2. The name

of each ingredient shall be shown in letters or type of the same size.

 

      Section 3. A

reference to quality or grade of an ingredient shall not appear in the

ingredient statement of a feed.

 

      Section 4. The term

"dehydrated" may precede the name of a product that has been

artificially dried.

 

      Section 5. A single

ingredient product defined by the Association of American Feed Control

Officials shall not be required to have an ingredient statement.

 

      Section 6. Tentative

definitions for ingredients shall not be used until adopted as official by the

Association of American Feed Control Officials unless an official definition

does not exist.

 

      Section 7.

Commercial, registered brand or trade names shall not be permitted in the

ingredient listing.

 

      Section 8. The

percentage of rice hulls shall be listed in the ingredient statement of a

formula feed intended to supply energy to the animal if the amount added

exceeds three (3) percent by weight. This shall not apply to feed products

where rice hulls are used as a carrier including in dried molasses products,

Type A medicated articles, vitamins, trace mineral and other premix additives.

The percentage of rice hulls contributed from carrier sources shall be excluded

from the determination of percentage of rice hulls in formula feeds.

 

      Section 9. A product

that is labeled, represented or intended to provide a substantial amount of

magnesium to cattle shall be formulated utilizing magnesium ingredients with a

biological value of seventy (70) percent or greater when compared to standard

reference of feed grade magnesium oxide with a biological value of 100 percent;

however, dolomitic limestone shall not be an acceptable source of magnesium

unless data substantiates the source of dolomitic limestone has a biological

value of seventy (70) percent or greater.

 

      Section 10. If the

word "iodized" is used in connection with a feed ingredient, the feed

ingredient shall contain not less than 0.007 percent iodine, uniformly

distributed.
