      10. (J) Inositol.
      11. (K) P-amino benzoic acid.
      12. (L) Ascorbic acid.
      13. (M) Carotene.

4. (d) A commercial feed manufacturer shall state guarantees for drugs in terms of percent by weight, except for the following drug guarantees:

   1. (1) Antibiotics present as less than two thousand (2,000) grams per ton (total) of commercial feed shall be stated in grams per ton of commercial feed.
   2. (2) Antibiotics present at or more than two thousand (2,000) grams per ton (total) of commercial feed shall be stated in grams per pound of commercial feed.
   3. (3) Labels for commercial feeds containing growth promotion or feed efficiency levels of antibiotics, which are fed continuously as the sole ration, are not required to make quantitative guarantees. However, if the federal Food Additive Regulations for certain antibiotics require quantitative guarantees for a specific antibiotic, the label must provide those guarantees regardless of the antibiotic's level or purpose.
   4. (4) The term "milligrams per pound" may be used for drugs or antibiotics in those cases where a dosage is given in milligrams in the feeding direction.

5. (e) A commercial feed manufacturer shall label commercial feeds containing any added nonprotein nitrogen as follows:

   1. (1) The following for ruminants:

      1. (A) Complete feeds, supplements, and concentrates containing added nonprotein nitrogen and containing more than five percent (5%) protein from natural sources shall be guaranteed as crude protein, minimum, ____%. (This includes not more than ____% equivalent protein from nonprotein nitrogen.)

      2. (B) Mixed feed concentrates and supplements containing less than five percent (5%) protein from natural sources shall be guaranteed as follows:

         1. (i) Equivalent crude protein from nonprotein.
         2. (ii) Nitrogen, minimum, ____%.

      3. (C) Ingredient sources of nonprotein nitrogen (such as urea, diammonium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate solution, ammoniated rice hulls, or other basic nonprotein nitrogen ingredients defined by the Association of American Feed Control Officials) shall be guaranteed as follows:

         2. (ii) Protein from nonprotein nitrogen, minimum, ____%.

   2. (2) The following for nonruminants:

(This includes not more than ____% equivalent crude protein that is not nutritionally available to (species of animal for which feed is intended).)
      2. (B) Premixes, concentrates, or supplements intended for nonruminants containing more than one and twenty-five hundredths percent (1.25%) equivalent crude protein from all forms of nonprotein nitrogen, added as such, must contain adequate directions for use and a prominent statement, "WARNING: This feed must be used only in accordance with directions furnished on the label.".

6. (f) A commercial feed manufacturer shall label mineral phosphatic materials for feeding purposes with the guarantee for:

   1. (1) minimum and maximum percentage of calcium (when present);
   2. (2) the minimum percentage of phosphorus; and

      A parenthetical statement following the guarantee shall list each species in order of predominance.

8. (h) A commercial feed manufacturer shall state guarantees for enzymes in units of enzymatic activity per unit weight or volume, consistent with label directions. A commercial feed manufacturer shall specify the source organism for each type of enzymatic activity (for examples protease (bacillus subtilis) five and five-tenths (5.5) milligrams amino acids liberated/min./milligram). If two (2) or more source organisms have the same type of activity, the commercial feed manufacturer shall list the organic in order of predominance based on the amount of enzymatic activity provided.
