SCHEDULE 1

METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ENERGY VALUE OF COMPOUND FEEDS

Poultry feeds:

MJ of ME/kg of feed = 0.1551 × % protein⁽⁰¹⁾ &;plus; 0.3431 × % oil⁽⁰²⁾ + 0.1669 × % starch⁽⁰³⁾ + 0.1301 × % total sugar (expressed as sucrose)⁽⁰⁴⁾.

Ruminant feeds:

MJ of ME/kg of dry matter = 0.14 × % Neutral detergent Cellulase plus Gamanase Digestibility⁽⁰⁵⁾ + 0.25 × % oil⁽⁰²⁾.

Pig feeds:

MJ of DE/kg of dry matter = 17.47 + 0.079 × % protein⁽⁰¹⁾ + 0.158 × % oil⁽⁰²⁾ - 0.331 × % ash⁽⁰⁶⁾ - 0.140 Neutral Detergent plus Amylase Fibre⁽⁰⁵⁾.

Feeding stuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes for cats and dogs:

MJ of ME/kg of food = 0.1464 × protein⁽⁰¹⁾ + 0.3556 × % oils and fats⁽⁰²⁾ + 0.1464 × % nitrogen-free extract;

MJ of ME/kg of cat food = (0.1632 × % protein + 0.3222 × % oils and fats - ⁽⁰²⁾ + 0.1255 × % nitrogen-free extract) - 0.2092;

in either case the percentage of nitrogen-free extract is calculated by subtracting from 100 the total of the percentages of moisture⁽⁰⁷⁾, ash⁽⁰⁶⁾, protein⁽⁰¹⁾, oils and fats⁽⁰²⁾ and fibre⁽⁰⁸⁾.

NB Where the results of analysis are to be given on a dry matter basis, this may be achieved by analysing either the dried material, or fresh material and correcting for the moisture content.

⁽⁰¹⁾ Determined by the method of analysis for protein specified in Point 2 of Annex 1 to Directive 72/199/EC. NB For pig feed the results must be corrected to 100% dry matter.[43]

⁽⁰²⁾ Determined by the appropriate procedure set out in the method of analysis for oils and fats specified in Part IV of the Annex to Directive 71/393/EEC. NB In ruminant and pig feeds the results must be corrected to 100% dry matter.[44]

⁽⁰³⁾ Determined by the method of analysis for starch specified in Point 1 of Annex 1 to Directive 72/199/EC[45].

⁽⁰⁴⁾ Determined by the method of analysis for sugar specified in Point 12 of the Annex to Directive 71/250/EEC[46].

⁽⁰⁵⁾ Determined by the method detailed in the booklet "Prediction of Energy Values of Compound Feeding Stuffs for Farm Animals" (published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Publications London SE99 7JT).

⁽⁰⁶⁾ Determined by the method of analysis for ash specified in Point 5 of the Annex to Directive 71/250/EEC. NB The result must be corrected to 100% dry matter.[47]

⁽⁰⁷⁾ Determined by the method of analysis for moisture specified in Part I of the Annex to Directive 71/393/EEC[48].

⁽⁰⁸⁾ Determined by the method of analysis for fibre specified in Point 3 of Annex 1 to Directive 73/46/EEC[49].
