Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the CouncilShow full title

2. Where the composition of a feed material or compound feed is found to depart from the labelled composition in a manner such as to reduce its value, the following tolerances are permitted:

(a)

for crude protein, sugars, starch and inulin:

• 3 units for declared contents of 30 % or more,

• 10 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 30 % but not less than 10 %,

• 1 unit for declared contents of less than 10 %;

(b)

for crude fibre, crude oil and fats:

• 2,2 units for declared contents of 15 % or more,

• 15 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 15 % but not less than 5 %,

• 0,8 units for declared contents of less than 5 %;

(c)

for moisture, crude ash, ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid and chlorides expressed as NaCl, total phosphorus, sodium, calcium carbonate, calcium, magnesium, acid index and matter insoluble in light petroleum:

• 1,5 units for declared contents (values) of 15 % (15) or more, as appropriate,

• 10 % of the declared content (value) for declared contents (values) of less than 15 % (15), but not less than 2 % (2), as appropriate,

• 0,2 units for declared contents (values) of less than 2 % (2), as appropriate;

(d)

for the energy value 5 % and for the protein value 10 %;

(e)

for feed additives(1);

• 10 % if the declared content is 1 000 units or more,

• 100 units for declared contents of less than 1 000 units but not less than 500 units,

• 20 % of the declared content of less than 500 units but not less than 1 unit,

• 0,2 units for declared contents of less than 1 unit but not less than 0,5 units,

• 40 % of the declared content of less than 0,5 units.

These tolerances shall apply also to the maximum levels of feed additives in compound feed.

(1)

1 unit in this paragraph means 1 mg, 1 000 IU, 1 × 10⁹ CFU or 100 enzyme activity units of the respective feed additive.
