The joint Department of Agriculture A.O. No. 11 and Department Health Order No. 105, Series of 1991, defines MEDICATED FEED as "any feed which contains drug ingredients intended or represented for the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease of animal other than man or which contains drug ingredients intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of animal other than man". Hence, all feeds containing more than 10% of combined vitamins, minerals, antioxidant, feed, flavors, anti-mold, toxin binders, enzymes and acidfyers in the total formulation and all feeds containing any amount of veterinary drug and product classified under Lists A, B and C of the Joint DA-AO No. 39, series oaf 1991 and DOH-AO No. 111-B Series of 1991 that were previously registered under R.A. 1556 or the Livestock and Poultry Feeds Act, as amended by P.D. 7, shall now be classified as Medicated Feed and as such shall be registered pursuant to the provisions of R.A. No. 3720 as amended by E.O. No. 175, otherwise known as the "Foods, Drug and Devices and Cosmetics Act", and R.A. No. 6675, otherwise known as the "Generics Act of 1988".

However, one may opt for a reformulation of the feed to retain its registration under R.A. 1556. A new set of feed samples shall be analyzed and new tags have to be submitted for approval.

For strict compliance.
