Two requirements must be met before feeds can be distributed in Texas: (1) the facility distributing the product must be licensed, (2) the product distributed must be properly labeled. The purpose of this booklet is to assist in labeling products properly. LABELING
Once a manufacturer of commercial feeds is licensed to do business in the State of Texas, proper labeling is required before distributing feed in the State. Commercial feed, other than customer formula feed, shall be labeled with the following information: 1. Product name and brand name if any 2. If a drug is used: The word “medicated” shall appear directly following and below the product name in type size, no smaller than one- Purpose statement as required in the Regulation. The purpose of medication (indications for use). An active ingredient statement listing the active drug ingredients by their established name and the amounts in The statement of purpose shall contain the specific species and animal class(es) for which the feed is intended. manufacturer shall have flexibility in describing in more specific and common language the defined animal class, specie and purpose while being consistent with the category of animal class defined in the regulations, which may include but not limited to including the weight range(s), sex or ages of the animal(s) for which the feed is The purpose statement may be excluded from the label if the product name includes a description of the species and animal class(es) for which the product is intended. The indication for animal class(es) and specie(s) is not required on single ingredient feed if the ingredient is not intended, represented, or defined for a specific A purpose statement of a premix for the manufacture of commercial feed may state “For the Manufacture of Commercial Feed” if the nutrients contained in the premix are guaranteed and sufficient for formulation into The purpose statement of single purpose ingredient blend, such as a blend of animal protein products, milk products, fat products, roughage products or molasses products may state “For Further Manufacturing of Feed” if the label guarantees of the nutrients contained in the single purpose nutrient blend are sufficient to provide for formulation into Crude Protein, Non-Protein Nitrogen, Amino Acids, Crude Fat, Crude Fiber, Acid Detergent Fiber, Calcium, Phosphorus, Salt and Sodium shall be the sequence of Other required and voluntary guarantees should follow in a general format such that the units of measure used to International Units, etc.) are listed in a sequence which provides a consistent grouping of the units of measure. 6.
