Section R3-3-906. Non-protein Nitrogen

A.      Urea and other non-protein nitrogen products are acceptable ingredients in commercial feed for ruminant  animals as a source of equivalent crude protein.

1.        If commercial feed contains more than 8.75% of equiva- lent crude protein from all forms of non-protein nitrogen or if the equivalent crude protein from all forms of non- protein nitrogen exceeds 1/3 of the total crude protein, the label shall include directions for the safe use of the feed

and the following precautionary statement: “Caution: Use as Directed.”

2.        The directions for use and the precautionary statement shall be printed and placed on the label so that an ordi- nary person under customary conditions of purchase and use can read and understand the directions.

B.       Non-protein nitrogen products are acceptable ingredients in commercial feeds distributed to non-ruminant animals as a source of nutrients other than equivalent crude protein. The maximum equivalent crude protein from non-protein nitrogen sources in non-ruminant rations shall not exceed 1.25% of the total daily ration.

C.      A medicated feed label shall contain feeding directions or pre- cautionary statements, or both, with sufficient information to ensure that the feed is properly used.
