IV. Technical Amendments

FDA is making the following amendments to improve the accuracy and readability of the animal drug regulations.

  • 21 CFR 520.522 is amended to revise language updated on the labeling for “Conditions for Use.”
  • 21 CFR 558.625 is amended to revise language updated on the labeling for “Indications for Use” and “Limitations” with ractopamine hydrochloride.

V. Legal Authority

This final rule is issued under section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)). Although deemed a rule under the FD&C Act, this document does not meet the definition of “rule” in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is a “rule of particular applicability” and is not subject to the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808. Likewise, this is not a rule subject to Executive Order 12866.

(iv) 0.25 to 0.5 Monensin, 10 to 40 Growing beef heifers fed in confinement for slaughter: For increased rate of weight gain, improved feed efficiency, and suppression of estrus (heat); and for the prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii At the rate of 0.5 to 2.0 lb/head/day, a Type C top-dress medicated feed containing 0.25 to 2 g melengestrol acetate per ton must be top dressed onto or mixed at feeding with a Type C medicated feed containing 10 to 40 g of monensin per ton to provide 0.25 to 0.5 mg melengestrol acetate/head/day and 0.14 to 0.42 mg monensin/lb body weight, depending on severity of coccidiosis challenge, up to 480 mg monensin/head/day. See § 558.355(d) of this chapter. Monensin as provided by No. 016592 or 058198; melengestrol acetate as provided by No. 016952, 066104, or 058198 in § 510.600(c) of this chapter 016592 066104 058198

(xi) 90 to 110 Bacitracin (as feed grade bacitracin zinc), 4 to 50 Broiler chickens: As an aid in the prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria necatrix, E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. mivati, and E. maxima, and for increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency Feed as the sole ration. Do not allow horses, other equines, mature turkeys, or guinea fowl access to feed containing monensin. Ingestion of monensin by horses and guinea fowl has been fatal. In the absence of coccidiosis in broiler chickens, the use of monensin with no withdrawal period may limit feed intake resulting in reduced weight gain. Not for broiler breeder replacement chickens.

(v) 1,620 grams per ton of mineral granules as specified in paragraph (e)(4)(v)(A) of this section Growing beef steers and heifers on pasture (stocker, feeder, and slaughter) or in a dry lot and replacement beef and dairy heifers: For increased rate of weight gain, and for prevention and control of coccidiosis due to Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii Feed at a rate of 50 to 200 milligrams per head per day. During the first 5 days of feeding, cattle should receive no more than 100 milligrams per day. Do not feed additional salt or minerals. Do not mix with grain or other feeds. Monensin is toxic to cattle when consumed at higher than approved levels. Stressed and/or feed- and/or water-deprived cattle should be adapted to the pasture and to unmedicated mineral supplement before using the monensin mineral supplement 016592 058198

(A) Specifications. Use as free-choice Type C medicated feed formulated as mineral granules as follows:

Antidusting oil 1.0
1  Content of vitamin and trace mineral premixes may be varied. However, they should be comparable to those used for other free-choice feeds. Formulation modifications require FDA approval prior to marketing. Selenium must comply with 21 CFR 573.920. Ethylenediamine dihydroiodide should comply with FDA Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 651.100 (CPG 7125.18).
2  To provide 1,620 g monensin per ton, use 17.8 lb (0.89%) of a monensin Type A medicated article containing 90.7 g monensin per pound. If using a monensin Type A medicated article containing 113.4 grams monensin per pound, use 14.2 lb (0.71%), subtracting ground limestone.

The dosage of salinomycin sodium should be adjusted to meet the severity of coccidial challenge, which varies with environmental and management conditions. Do not feed to chickens producing eggs for human consumption. May be fatal if accidently fed to adult turkeys or horses. Do not use in Type C medicated feeds containing pellet binders.
