SCHEDULE 9 METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ENERGY VALUE OF COMPOUND POULTRY FEEDS
Schedule 1, paragraph 11
The energy value of compound poultry feed shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set out below on the basis of the percentages of certain analytical components of the feed. This value is to be expressed in megajoules (MJ) of metabolisable energy (ME), nitrogen corrected, per kilogram of compound feed:
MJ of ME/kg of feed = 0.1551 × % crude protein + 0.3431 × % fat + 0.1669 × % starch + 0.1301 × % total sugar (expressed as sucrose).
After application of the above formula, the result shall be given to one decimal place.
Determined by procedure B of method 3 of the methods of analysis specified in Schedule 2 to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1982 (S.I. 1982/1144; the relevant amending instrument is S.I. 1985/1119).
Determined by method 30a (Polarimetric Method) of the methods of analysis specified in Schedule 2 to the Feeding Stuffs (Sampling and Analysis) Regulations 1982.

3 The Regulations apply to feeding stuffs for animals of the descriptions specified in regulation 3 and for pet animals. Those feeding stuffs (with the exception of straight feeding stuffs intended for use as pet foods) are prescribed in regulation 4 for the purposes of sections 68(1) and 69(1) of the Agriculture Act 1970 (“the Act”), which require the sellers of prescribed materials to give statutory statements as to their composition and information or instructions as to their storage, handling and use, and to mark them with that information. The contents of statutory statements are prescribed by regulation 5 and Schedule 1, and their form by regulation 6. Further provisions relating to statutory statements are contained in regulations 7, 8 and 9.
4 The Regulations also provide for—
(a) permitted limits of variation in mis-statements in statutory statements, (regulation 11 and Schedule 3);

(f) special provision for the marketing of ingredients to be used in feeding stuffs which are contaminated with certain exceptionally undesirable substances is made in regulation 16(3) and (4). Copies of the national list referred to in paragraph 4(a) of this regulation, and defined in regulation 2(1), may be obtained on and after the 30th November 1988 from the Publications Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Lion House, Willowburn Trading Estate, Alnwick, Northumberland NE66 2PF, and the list may be inspected free of charge at the Ministry’s headquarters at Great Westminster House, Horseferry Road, London SW1P 2AE;
(g) special provision in relation to milk replacer feeds is made in regulation 20;
(h) a number of additions and amendments are made to Schedule 1 (paragraphs 2, 7, 14, 15 and 16), Schedule 2 (items dried molassed sugar beet feed, 4.6 and 4.9), Schedule 3 (protein), Schedule 4 (Parts II, III, Chapter B, VI and IX), Schedule 5 (cadmium and aflatoxin) in Part I (Chapters A and B) and Part II, and a new Chapter D of Part I (for pesticide residues) and Schedule 7 (items 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2);
(i) an official method of calculating the energy value of compound poultry feeds is provided in a new Schedule 9, and is referred to in Schedule 1, paragraph 11(a)(v) and Schedule 3, Part E.
