Production of feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants
14.—(1) Subject to paragraph (3), a person shall not use any premises for the production of feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants if the premises are used for the preparation of feedingstuffs for ruminant animals.
(2) For the purpose of paragraph 3 of Annex II to the Commission Decision, premises manufacturing animal feed which are not used for the preparation of feedingstuffs for ruminant animals are authorised for the production of feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants.
(3) The prohibition in paragraph (1) shall not apply to premises used for the preparation of feedingstuffs for ruminant animals which are used for the production of feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for other animal species if—
(a)the dicalcium phosphate satisfies the requirements of regulation 4(2)(c);
(b)the transport and storage of feed material intended for ruminant animals is completely separate from feed material prohibited for feeding to ruminant animals;
(c)the storage, transport, manufacturing and packaging facilities for compound feedingstuffs intended for ruminant animals is completely separate; and
(d)the person using the premises for the preparation of feedingstuffs for ruminant animals which are used for the production of feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for other animal species carries out routine tests on the feedingstuffs intended for ruminant animals to ensure that any processed animal protein the feeding of which to farmed animals is prohibited by regulation 4 is not present in those feedingstuffs.
(4) A person shall not produce any feedingstuff containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants unless the feedingstuff is labelled clearly to indicate the words “Contains dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones — cannot be fed to ruminant animals”.
(5) A person shall not use any vehicle for the transport of bulk feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants at the same time as it is used for the transport of any feed for ruminant animals.
(6) Where a vehicle used for the transport of bulk feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants is subsequently used for the transport of other products, the person using the vehicle for the transport of the bulk feedingstuffs containing dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones for feeding to farmed animals other than ruminants shall ensure it is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected before and after the transport of those bulk feedingstuffs.
