87.6 Rice By-Products Fractions
is obtained by screening and aspirating Ground Rice Hulls. It is used primarily as a pelleting aid and is composed of such fine particles of Ground Rice Hulls, Spongy Parenchyma, and minute amounts of Rice Flour, Rice Germ, Pericarp, and Rice Starch as will pass an 80 mesh screen and contain not less than 5% crude protein, 1.5% crude fat, and not more than 25% crude fiber. (Proposed 1965, Published 1966, Amended 1967)
87.7 Ammoniated Rice Hulls
is obtained by the treatment of ground rice hulls with monocalcium phosphate and anhydrous ammonia at a temperature of 350 F and a pressure of 175 lb. per square inch. It is to be used in beef cattle feeds at a level not to exceed 20% of the total rations as a source of crude fiber and as the sole source of non-protein nitrogen. The label of the additive and of any feed additive supplement, feed additive concentrate, or feed additive premix prepared therefrom, must contain the following informa
87.8 Polyethylene Roughage Replacement consists of basic polymers manufactured by the catalytic polymerization of ethylene
is designed in a pellet form in a configuration presenting maximum angular surface having the following dimensions in centimeters. 0.9 + 0.1 × 0.8 + 0.1 × 1.2 + 0.1. It is used as a replacement for roughage in feedlot rations for finishing slaughter cattle. The labels and labeling shall bear the name of the additive “Polyethylene Roughage Replacement,” and adequate directions for use which shall provide for the administration of one-half pound of polyethylene pellets per day for 6 successive da
87.9 Ammoniated Cottonseed Meal
is obtained by the treatment of cottonseed meal with anhydrous ammonia until a pressure of 50 pounds per square inch gauge is reached. It is to be used in the feed of ruminants as a source of protein and/or as the sole source of non-protein nitrogen in an amount not to exceed 20% of the total ration. The label of the additive and of any feed additive supplement, feed additive concentrate, or feed additive premix prepared therefrom, must contain the following information in addition to any other
