Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
Commercial feed, other than customer-formula feed, must be
				  labeled with the information prescribed by North Dakota Century Code section
				  4.1-41-06.
1. Product name and brand
				name if any:
a. The brand or product name must
				be appropriate for the intended use of the feed and must not be misleading. If
				the name indicates the feed is made for a specific use, the character of the
				feed must conform to that use. A commercial feed for a particular animal class
				must be suitable for that purpose.
b. Commercial, registered brand, or trade
				names are not permitted in guarantees or ingredient listings and only in the
				product name of feeds produced by or for the firm holding the rights to such a
				name.
c. The name of a commercial
				feed may not be derived from one or more ingredients of a mixture to the
				exclusion of other ingredients and may not be one representing any components
				of a mixture unless all components are included in the name provided that if
				any ingredient or combination of ingredients is intended to impart a
				distinctive characteristic to the product which is of significance to the
				purchaser, the name of that ingredient or combination of ingredients may be
				used as a part of the brand name or product name if the ingredients or
				combination of ingredients is quantitatively guaranteed in the guaranteed
				analysis, and the brand or product name is not otherwise false or
				misleading.
d. The word "protein"
				is not be permitted in the product name of a feed that contains added
				nonprotein nitrogen.
e. When the
				name carries a percentage value, it must be understood to signify protein
				content or protein equivalent content, or both even though it may not
				explicitly modify the percentage with the word "protein" provided that other
				percentage values may be permitted if they are followed by the proper
				description and conform to good labeling practice. Digital numbers may not be
				used in such a manner as to be misleading or confusing to the
				customer.
f. Single ingredient
				feeds must have a product name in accordance with the designated definition of
				feed ingredients as recognized by the association of American feed control
				officials unless the agriculture commissioner designates otherwise.
g. The word "vitamin", or a contraction of
				vitamin, or any word suggesting vitamin may be used only in the name of a feed
				which is represented to be a vitamin supplement, and which is labeled with the
				minimum content of each vitamin declared as specified in this rule.
h. The term "mineralized" shall not be used
				in the name of a feed except for "trace mineralized salt". When so used, the
				product must contain significant amounts of trace minerals which are recognized
				as essential for animal nutrition.
i. The term "meat" and "meat byproducts" must
				be qualified to designate the animal from which the meat and meat byproducts
				are derived unless the meat and meat byproducts are made from cattle, swine,
				sheep, and goats.
