Section 4 - Feed Additives & Medications

2.   MEDICATED FEED TYPE

All medicated feeds are divided into one of three types:

TYPE A -  Medicated feed articles that usually consist of highly concentrated forms of the drug in the form of mill premixes, super-concentrates, and fortifiers that have a higher potency than permitted in Type B or Type C feeds.  Type A feeds are used to produce Type B and Type C feeds.

TYPE B - Medicated feeds that usually consist of dilute drug premixes, some feed concentrates, supplements, and other mixtures that require further mixing with one or more feed ingredients to achieve final dilution before being fed.  See Table in Site Plan (Approved Medicated Feed Additive Use Levels for Beef Cattle)

TYPE C -   Medicated feed in its final form that does not require any additional dilution prior to being fed.  Usually consisting of top dressings, complete feed, or fed as a free choice supplement.  The only regulatory requirements are to follow a relaxed set of CGMPs.
