modified based on the "2006 Catalog of Feed Additives", adds some items
widely regarded as safe feed additives and also defines the scope of use
for enzymes and live micro-organisms. The 2008 Catalog was effective
December 11, 2008, on which day the "2006 Catalog of Feed Additives" was
repealed.

Decree No.1126 was not yet notified to the World Trade Organization.

**No.1126**

In order to strengthen the management of feed additives, guarantee the
quality and safety of animal products and promote the healthy
development of the feed industry, according to "Administrative
Regulations on Feed and Feed Additives", the "2008 Catalog of Feed
Additives" (hereinafter referred to as the "2008 Catalog") and the
relevant issues are hereby published as follows:

1\. The 2008 Catalog is composed of two parts -- Appendix 1 and Appendix
2. The nutritional feed additives and the general feed additives
currently in production, marketed and use fall into the specified items
in the 2008 Catalog, and enterprises engaged in producing these feed
additives shall apply for a production permit and product approval
number. Appendix 2 lists new feed and feed additives within the trial
commercial use period. Production of these feed and feed additives can
only be conducted by the applicants or their designated entities as
specified in Appendix 2. Any substance not listed in the 2008 Catalog is
prohibited from being used as a feed additive. Production and usage of
feed additives not listed in the 2008 Catalog shall require a new
product production permit before production and marketing as stipulated
in the requirements of the "Administrative Regulations on New Feed and
Feed Additives".

2\. Production of genetically modified animal and plant and
micro-organism origin feed additives, and feed additives produced with
genetically modified ingredients, shall comply with the "Administrative
Measures on Agricultural Genetically Modified Bio-organisms" to conduct
a safety evaluation and obtain Agricultural GMO Biosafety Certificate
first and then conduct a review according to requirements of
"Administrative Regulations on New Feed and Feed Additives".

3\. The 2008 Catalog is modified based on the "2006 Catalog of Feed
Additives" and it adds some feed additives which are widely considered
safe in production and defines the scope of use of enzymes and live
micro-organisms.

4\. Nine items which completed the trial commercial use period are added
into the Appendix 1, specifically: Chromium Nicotinate, Cysteamine
Hydrochloride, Chromium Tripicolinate, Lactobacillus bulgaricus,
Galactomanno-oligosaccharides, Xylo-oligosaccharides,
Low-molecular-weight Chitosan, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid
and, Lathanum/Cerium Chintosan Chelates.

5\. Effective on December 11, 2008, the 2006 Catalog of Feed Additives
published by MOA on May 31, 2006 repealed.
