ANIMAL FEEDING CHAPTER I Extensions of the prohibition provided for in Article 7(1) In accordance with Article 7(2), the prohibition provided for in Article 7(1) shall be extended to the feeding:

(a) to ruminants of dicalcium phosphate and tricalcium phosphate of animal origin and compound feed containing these products;

(b) to non-ruminant farmed animals, other than fur animals, of:

(i) processed animal protein;

(ii) blood products;

(iii) hydrolysed protein of animal origin;

(iv) dicalcium phosphate and tricalcium phosphate of animal origin;

(v) feed containing the products listed in points (i) to (iv). CHAPTER II Derogations from the prohibitions provided for in Article 7(1) and in Chapter I In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 7(3), the prohibitions provided for in Article 7(1) and in Chapter I shall not apply to the feeding to:

(a) ruminants of:

(i) milk, milk-based products, milk-derived products, colostrum and colostrum products;

(ii) eggs and egg products;

(iii) collagen and gelatine derived from non-ruminants;

(iv) hydrolysed proteins derived from:

— parts of non-ruminants, or — ruminant hides and skins;

(v) compound feed containing the products listed in points (i) to (iv) above;

(b) non-ruminant farmed animals of the following feed materials and compound feed:

(i) hydrolysed proteins derived from parts of non-ruminants or from ruminant hides and skins;

(ii) fishmeal and compound feed containing fishmeal which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Section A of Chapter IV;

(iii) dicalcium phosphate and tricalcium phosphate of animal origin and compound feed containing such phosphates which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Section B of Chapter IV;

(iv) blood products derived from non-ruminants and compound feed containing such blood products which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Section C of Chapter IV;

(c) aquaculture animals of the following feed materials and compound feed:

(i) processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants, other than fishmeal and other than processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, and compound feed containing such processed animal protein, which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Section D of Chapter IV;

(ii) processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, and compound feed containing such processed animal protein, which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Section F of Chapter IV;

(d) unweaned ruminants of milk replacers containing fishmeal and which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with specific conditions laid down in Section E of Chapter IV;

(e) farmed animals of feed materials of plant origin and compound feed containing such feed materials contaminated with insignificant amount of bone spicules derived from unauthorised animal species. Member States may only use this derogation if they have carried out a risk assessment beforehand which has confirmed there is a negligible risk for animal health. That risk assessment must take into account at least the following:

(i) the level of the contamination;

(ii) the nature and the source of the contamination;

(iii) the intended use of the contaminated feed;

(f) poultry of the following feed materials and compound feed:

(i) processed animal protein derived from porcine animals and compound feed containing such processed animal protein, which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Chapter IV, Section G;

(ii) processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, and compound feed containing such processed animal protein, which are produced, placed on the market and used in accordance with the general conditions laid down in Chapter III and the specific conditions laid down in Chapter IV, Section F;

1. The following products intended to be used for feeding non-ruminant farmed animals shall be transported in vehicles and containers and stored in storage facilities which are not used, respectively, for the transport or storage of feed intended for ruminants:

(a) bulk processed animal protein derived from non-ruminants, including fishmeal, processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, processed animal protein derived from porcine animals and processed animal protein derived from poultry;

(b) bulk dicalcium and tricalcium phosphate of animal origin;

(c) bulk blood products derived from non-ruminants;

(d) bulk compound feed containing the feed materials listed in (a), (b) and (c). Records detailing the type of products that were transported or stored in a storage plant shall be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least two years.

2. By way of derogation from point 1, vehicles, containers and storage facilities which have been previously used for the transport or storage of the products listed in that point, may be subsequently used for the transport or storage of feed intended for ruminants provided that they are cleaned beforehand in order to avoid cross-contamination, in accordance with a documented procedure which has been given prior authorisation by the competent authority.

Whenever such a procedure is used, a documented record of such use shall be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least two years.

3. Storage plants storing in accordance with point 2 feed materials and compound feed listed in point 1 shall be authorised by the competent authority based on verification of their compliance with the requirements listed in point 2.

4. Bulk processed animal protein derived from porcine animals, and bulk compound feed containing such processed animal protein, shall be transported in vehicles and containers and stored in storage facilities which are not used, respectively, for the transport or storage of feed intended for non-ruminant farmed animals other than aquaculture animals and poultry.

5. By way of derogation from point 4, vehicles, containers and storage facilities which have been previously used for the transport or storage of bulk processed animal protein derived from porcine animals and bulk compound feed containing such processed animal protein may be subsequently used for the transport or storage of feed intended for non-ruminant farmed animals other than aquaculture animals and poultry provided that they are cleaned beforehand in order to avoid cross-contamination, in accordance with a documented procedure which has been given prior authorisation by the competent authority. Whenever such a procedure is used, a documented record of such use shall be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least two years.

6. Bulk processed animal protein derived from poultry, and bulk compound feed containing such processed animal protein, shall be transported in vehicles and containers and stored in storage facilities which are not used, respectively, for the transport or storage of feed intended for non-ruminant farmed animals other than aquaculture and porcine animals.
