Animal Feed Policy and Procedures Updates

Please be advised that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has updated the Compendium of Medicated Ingredient Brochures (CMIB).

The following documents have been updated:

The Index of medicating ingredient brochures by name has been updated to reflect the changes that have been made to the following medicating ingredient brochures: Amprolium (AMP), Bacitracin (as bacitracin methylenedisalicylate) (BACN-M), Clopidol (CLO), Lubabegron (LBGF), Melengestrol acetate (MGAF), Monensin (MOS), Piperazine dihydrochloride (PID), Tilmicosin (TIL), Tylosin (TYL) and Zoalene (ZOAF).

The Monovet Monensin Premix has been added to the Index of medicating ingredients by brand name.

In the Index of medicating ingredients approved by livestock species, the BMD 110 G Bacitracin (as bacitracin methylenedisalicylate) Premix has been added to the list of medicating ingredients approved for use in feeds for laying hens (chickens) and the Monovet Monensin Premix has been added to the list of medicating ingredients approved for feeds for cattle, dairy cows (dry and lactating), beef cattle, beef cattle on pasture, sheep and goats.

For the Index of medicating ingredients by name of sponsor/manufacturer, the Monovet Monensin Premix (DIN 02516772) has been added to the list of medicating ingredients manufactured by Huvepharma EOOD (5th, 3a Nikolay Haytov Street, 1113 Sofia, Saone et Loire, Bulgaria).

Feed manufacturers are reminded that feeds containing this medication may require a label update. For registered feeds, registrants are to send an application for feed registration (for administrative amendment) to the CFIA’s Pre-Market Application Submissions Office (PASO) for each affected feed to have the revised medicated feed label approved by the Animal Feed Division.

Users of the CMIB are also reminded that it is their responsibility to regularly consult the CFIA’s website to ensure that they are using most current and up to date version of each Medicating Ingredient Brochure to manufacture and label medicated feeds. You can also use the CFIA’s Email Notification Services and select “Animal health and feed-related notifications” to stay on top of the latest updates to the CMIB.
