Notes:
1. Targeted feeds are the following:
Chickens (except broilers)Infant chicks
Middle-aged chicks

Feed for chickens up to around 4 weeks after hatching
Feed for chickens between around 4 and 10 weeks after
hatching
Broilers
Early stage
Feed for broilers up to around 3 weeks after hatching
Late stage
Feed for broilers between around 3 weeks after hatching
and 7 days before slaughter for human consumption
Pigs
Suckling stage
Feed for pigs up to a body weight of around 30 kg
Piglet stage
Feed for pigs between a body weight of around 30 kg
and 70 kg (except those in breeding (only a body wightof around between 60 kg and 120 kg: the same shallapply hereinafter))
CattleSuckling stage
Feed for cattle up to around 3 months old (only mainly
formula feed except manufactured mainly driedskimmilk for breeding of cattle after sucking stage
including monensin sodium)
Young age stage
Feed for cattle between around 3 months and 6 months
oldFattening stage
Feed for fattening cattle from around 6 months old(except those in milking)2. The quantity of feed additives that may be contained in the targeted feeds is the quantity ofactive ingredients per ton of feeds.
D. The content of formic acid (except the content that is contained in calcium formate orpotassium diformate) in feeds (except raw materials or ingredients used to manufacture feeds)
shall be no more than 0.5 % of formic acid.
E. The contents of propionic acid, calcium propionate and sodium propionate in feeds, in thecase of silage (products that are prepared by the lactic fermentation of grass, including grass
dried for lower water content, in a silo or any other appropriate type of container), shall be no
more than 1.0 % of propionic acid, or, in the case of other feeds (except raw materials or
ingredients used to manufacture feeds), shall be no more than 0.3 % of propionic acid.
F. The content of ethoxyquin, dibutylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hyroxyanisole in feeds(except raw materials or ingredients used to manufacture feeds) shall be no more than 150 g

techniques in which recombinant-DNA (meaning DNA prepared by cleavage andrecombination of DNA using enzymes or others; the same shall be applied hereinafter) aretransferred to living cells for proliferation, except the following techniques; the same shall bealso applied hereinafter) are to be produced, such feeds shall undergo examination procedure
for safety assessment made by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, except forthe case provided by whom as safe:(a) The technique where the recombinant-DNA transfected into living cells is composed only
DNA of a microorganism belonging to the same taxonomic species as the living cells.
(b) The technique where which the genetic composition of living cells transfected byrecombinant-DNA is equivalent to the genetic composition of microorganisms present innature.
M. If feeds are to be produced using organisms obtained using recombinant-DNA techniques,
such organisms shall undergo examination procedures for safety assessment made by the
Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
N. Substances that are ingredients of the agricultural chemicals listed in Column No. 1 below(agricultural chemicals stipulated in Article 1 (2), paragraph 1 of the Agricultural Chemicals
Regulation Act (Act No. 82 of 1948), the same shall apply hereinafter), including substances
generated from these chemicals by a chemical reaction, the same shall apply hereinafter, shallnot be contained in the feed ingredients listed in Column 2 at levels exceeding the amountlisted in Column 3:

Note:
1. The feed ingredients in Column 2 refer to the plant parts listed below:(1) Oats grain, barley grain and sorghum grain: threshed seeds(2) Wheat grain and rye grain: unpolished grain(3) Soybean: seeds(4) Corn grain: seeds after removing the husk, silk and cob(5) Grass: stems, leaves and unthreshed seeds
2. Grass include grass dried for lower water content and silage (products that are prepared by thelactic fermentation of grass, including grass dried for lower water content, in a silo or any otherappropriate type of container).
3. When the feed ingredient in Column 2 is grass and the water content of the ingredient in the feed
concerned exceeds 10 %, the amount of water exceeding 10 % is to be subtracted from the amountof the feed ingredient to calculate the residue level of the substance that is an ingredient of the

A. The content ratio of insoluble impurities in animal fats and oils (meaning fats and oils

from the process for manufacturing mammal-derived proteins and poultry-derived proteins(except confirmed gelatin, etc); the same shall also apply hereinafter) shall be no more than
0.15%. The method of testing insoluble impurities in this case shall be as follows:
Weigh the sample approximately 20 g accurately note 1), add 200 mL of petroleum ether,
special class and dissolve the sample. Pass note 2) it through a glass filter (G3) note 3), of whichweight is known, and wash well the residue on the filter with 200 mL of petroleum ether,
special class. Dry the residue with the glass filter for an hour at 105 1˚, leave in a desiccator(silica gel) to cool for 30 minutes, and then weigh accurately. Insoluble impurity is calculatedby the following formula.
Insoluble impurity (%) =W3 − W2
× 100
