4. Maximum and minimum levels of additives in farm feeds

(1) Additives shall only be used in farm feeds if they appear in Annexure 2 hereto.

(2) Additives shall only be used in farm feeds taking account of the maximum and minimum levels set in Annexure 2, such additive levels referring to complete farm feeds with a moisture content of 120g/kg^¹1
(3) If a substance permitted as an additive also exists in the natural state in certain feed ingredients, the quantity of additive to be incorporated shall be calculated so that the total of the elements added and the elements present naturally does not exceed the maximum level provided for in Annexure 2.
(4) The mixing of additives shall only be permitted in premixtures and farm feeds where there is physio-chemical and biological compatibility between the components of the mixture in relation to the effects desired.
(5) Where a person, as a result of new information or of a reassessment of existing scientific information made since the provisions in question were adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that an additive in Annexure 2 constitutes a danger to animal or human health or the environment, that person shall inform the Registrar immediately, giving reasons. The Registrar must investigate the matter and consult the farm feed industry before deciding whether the Annexure should be modified.
(6) Where a person, as a result of new information or technology or of a reassessment of existing scientific information, has grounds for desiring an additive which is not listed in Annexure 2 to be included in that list or grounds for believing that an additive on the list should be allowed for use in farm feeds in increased quantities, that person shall inform the Registrar, providing a detailed dossier setting out all the scientific evidence. The Registrar must investigate the matter and consult the farm feed industry before deciding whether the Annexure should be amended.

5. Additives in complementary, supplementary and concentrated farm feeds

(1) In the case of a complementary, supplementary and concentrated farm feed which contains any additive in excess of the maximum content specified for that additive in relation to the complete farm feed by Annexure 2, the instruction for use shall state, according to the species and age of the animal, the maximum quantity in grams or kilograms of the farm feed to be given per animal per day, and shall be so formulated that, when they are correctly followed, the final content of the additive does not exceed the maximum so specified. This sub-guideline shall not apply to products delivered to manufacturers of mixed farm feeds or to their suppliers.

(2) The provisions of Guideline 5(1) and 6 shall not apply to additives, pre-mixtures and farm feeds which are shown, at least by an appropriate indication, to be for export to other countries.

6. Maximum and minimum levels of stock remedies in farm feeds

(1) Stock remedies shall only be used in farm feeds if they appear in Annexure 6 hereto.

(2) Stock remedies shall only be used in farm feeds taking account of the maximum and minimum levels set in Annexure 6, such additive levels referring to complete farm feeds with a moisture content of 120g/kg^¹1
(3) The mixing of stock remedies shall only be permitted in pre-mixtures and farm feeds where there is physio-chemical and biological compatibility between the components of the mixture in relation to the effects desired.
(4) Where a person, as a result of new information or of a reassessment of existing scientific information made since the provisions in question were adopted, has detailed grounds for establishing that a stock remedy in Annexure 6 constitutes a danger to animal or human health or the environment, that person shall inform the Registrar immediately, giving reasons. The Registrar shall investigate the matter and consult the farm feed industry before deciding whether the Annexure should be modified.
(5) Where a person, as a result of new information or technology or of a reassessment of existing scientific information, has grounds for registering a stock remedy which is not listed in Annexure 6 to be included in that list that person shall inform the Registrar, providing a detailed dossier setting out all the scientific evidence. The Registrar will update this list annually.

7. Stock Remedies in complementary, supplementary and concentrated farm feeds

In the case of a complementary, supplementary and concentrated farm feed which contains any stock remedy in excess of the maximum content specified for that stock remedy in relation to the complete farm feed by Annexure 6, the instruction for use shall state, according to the species and age of the animal, the maximum quantity in grams or kilograms of the farm feed to be given per animal per day, and shall be so formulated that, when they are correctly followed, the final content of the stock remedy does not exceed the maximum so specified.

8. Sampling of farm feeds

. When a sample of a farm feed is taken at a plant or elsewhere than a plant in terms of Article 15(1) of the Act the person in charge of the undertaking or an officer as intended and authorised in terms of Article 2(2)(a) of the Act shall take such sample by using a standard documented method that is appropriate on the understanding that should the holder of the registration, his employee, agent or any other witness sign the certificate relating to the sample taken, the method of the sampling cannot become the subject of dispute.

9. Analysis method

In the case of a dispute only methods of analysis as determined by the Agri-Laboratory Association of Southern Africa (AgriLASA), may be used: on the understanding that the Registrar may recognise any other method of analysis as may be modified from time to time

10. Tolerances

A farm feed is not considered to have a deficiency of one or another of its registered nutrients as long as it is within the limits set out in Annexure 7.
