SCHEDULE 1

METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ENERGY VALUE OF COMPOUND FEEDS
Regulation 2(1) and Schedule 3
The energy value of compound poultry, ruminant and pig feeds and feeding stuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes for cats and dogs is calculable 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 must 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/EC .
- 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 .
- 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 .
- (4) Determined by the method of analysis for sugar specified in Point 12 of the Annex to Directive 71/250/EEC .
- (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 .
- NB The result must be corrected to 100% dry matter.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
1
These Regulations which apply in relation to Wales—
a
revoke with certain exceptions, the provisions of the Feeding Stuffs (Wales) Regulations 2001 (as last amended by S.I. 2004/3091 (W.265), (“the 2001 Regulations”)) (regulation 7);
b
re-enact with or without amendments, the majority of the provisions of the 2001 Regulations; and
c
introduce new provisions to enforce and administer Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition.
2
The Regulations provide for the implementation of the European Community Directives listed at paragraph 12 below.
3
The Regulations apply to farmed creatures and pet animals and in regulation 14 also to animals living freely in the wild.
4
The Regulations preserve the modifications made to the Agriculture Act 1970 (“the Act”) by regulations 18 and 19 of the 2001 Regulations (regulations 3 and 4).
5
For the purposes of sections 68(1) and 69(1) of the Act, any material useable as a feeding stuff, additive or premixture is prescribed material (regulation 5). Under those sections, sellers of prescribed materials are required to give to purchasers “statutory statements” (“datganiadau statudol”) covering the composition of the material and information on storage, handling and use. Material held for sale must be marked with such information.
6
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
Further provisions relating to statutory statements regarding permitted limits of inaccuracies are contained in regulation 10 and Schedule 4.
8
These Regulations also—
a
provide attribution of 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);
b
prescribe the way in which compound feeds may be sealed and packaged (regulation 12);
c
regulate the way in which feed materials may be put into circulation or used (regulation 13 and Schedule 2);
d
restrict the putting into circulation or use of feeding stuffs containing specified undesirable substances (regulation 14 and Schedule 5);
e
prohibit the putting into circulation or use of any feeding stuff containing certain prescribed substances (regulation 15);
f
restrict the marketing and use of certain protein sources and non-protein nitrogenous compounds in feeds (regulation 16 and Schedule 6);
g
regulate the iron content of milk replacer feeds (regulation 17);
h
prohibit the putting into circulation of compound feeding stuffs in which the amount of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid exceeds specified levels (regulation 18);
i
control the marketing of feeds intended for particular nutritional purposes (dietetics) (regulation 19 and Schedule 7);
j
provide enforcement and transitional measures for Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition. (This EC Regulation replaces Directive 70/524/EEC as amended but preserves some of its provisions with regard to additives already authorised and to the labelling and packaging of feeding stuffs containing additives) (regulation 20);
k
maintain the duty of confidentiality on those who had access to commercially sensitive information under the authorisation system that existed under Directive 70/524/EEC.
9
These Regulations 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 22).
10
The Regulations 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 23).
11
The Regulations amend in relation to Wales, the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 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 24).
