It covers cases where farms buy-in additives and premixtures[i] products (ie not contained in a compound feed) and mix them with feeds (forage, cereals etc). Mixing of feed directly with additives (Either a vitamin, a trace element, urea etc) or premixtures (a mixture of additives) that are not contained in a compound feed. Please note: Premixtures and mineral feeding stuffs can be similar – please check product labels to identify product type as requirements for compliance for the use of these products differ. |
| R11 | Mixing feeds, on farms, with compound feeding stuffs which contain additives | Mixing feeds with products such as mineral feeding stuffs or other compound feeds (usually cattle pellets, sheep nuts, calf pencils etc) which contain additives. |

[i] Premixture is a mixture of feed additives, or a mixture of one or more feed additives with feed materials or water used as carriers, not intended for direct feeding to animals.
1These activities cover premises that both manufacture and place such products on the market (sell) and also those premises that do not manufacture but buy and sell products.
