LABELING (§ 3.2-4806)

A. The manufacturer or guarantor of a commercial feed, except customer-formula
or custom mix feed, shall affix a label to the commercial feed that states in
the English language the following information:

   1. The quantity statement;

   2. The product name and, if any, the brand name of the commercial feed;

   3. The guaranteed analysis, the terms of which the Board shall determine by
   regulation so as to advise the user of the composition of the feed, or to
   support claims made in the labeling. In all cases, the substances or elements
   shall be determinable by laboratory methods of sampling and analysis, as
   specified in &#xA7; 3.2-4801;

   4. The common or usual name of each ingredient used in the manufacture of the
   commercial feed. The Board may, by regulation: (i) permit the use of a
   collective term for a group of ingredients that perform a similar function; or
   (ii) exempt such commercial feeds, or any group of ingredients, from this
   requirement if the Board finds that such statement is not required in the
   interest of consumers;

   5. The name and principal mailing address of the manufacturer, or the person
   responsible for distributing the commercial feed, if such person is not the
   manufacturer;

   6. Directions for use in the case of all commercial feeds containing drugs,
   and for such other feeds as the Board may, by regulation, require as necessary
   for the safe and effective use of the commercial feed; and

   7. Any precautionary statements as the Board, by regulation, determines are
   necessary for the safe and effective use of the commercial feed.

B. The manufacturer or guarantor of a customer-formula or custom mix feed shall
affix to or include with the feed a label, invoice, delivery slip, or other
shipping document that states in the English language the following information:

   1. The name and address of the manufacturer;

   2. The name and address of the purchaser;

   3. The date of manufacture;

   4. Either: (i) the product name and net weight of each commercial feed and
   each other ingredient used in the mixture; (ii) the guaranteed analysis, as
   provided in subdivision A 3 with the ingredients as provided in subdivision A
   4; (iii) identification by means of an identifying name, number or similar
   designation, where the manufacturer or guarantor furnishes all ingredients for
   a customer-formula feed, provided that the manufacturer or guarantor makes
   available a copy of the list of ingredients to the Commissioner at the
   location where the Commissioner takes an official sample; or (iv) the
   manufacturer or guarantor notes a modification on the label of a commercial
   feed where the manufacturer or guarantor modifies a commercial feed in normal
   trade at the request of the consumer, and such request does not affect the
   guaranteed analysis of said feed;

   5. Directions for use for all customer formula or custom mix feeds containing
   drugs and for such other feeds as the Board may require, by regulation, as
   necessary for the safe and effective use of the commercial feed;

   6. The directions for use and precautionary statements as required by
   subdivisions A 6 and A 7; and

   7. If drugs are used in formulating the commercial feed: (i) the purpose of
   the medication (claim statement); and (ii) the established name of each active
   drug ingredient, and the level of each drug used in the final mixture,
   expressed in accordance with applicable regulations.
