The following report, on the inspection activities of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (DAFF) is the detailed report on the animal feed controls carried out by DAFF in 2007 and should be read as an adjunct to the Multi-Annual National Control Plan (MANCP) report. The MANCP report is coordinated by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) and includes an animal feed control element. 1.2 COMPETENT AUTHORITY Responsibility for the transposition and enforcement of EU legislation in the feedingstuffs area rests with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (DAFF). The Divisions of DAFF centrally involved in this activity are the Feedingstuffs Division and the Crop Production and Safety Division, collectively referred to as the Animal Feedingstuffs Control Group. 1.2.1 Organisation The organisational chart (Figure 1 ) outlines the organisation and staffing of the DAFF in the field of animal feedingstuffs. Feedingstuffs Division: At central level: Within the DAFF the Feedingstuff’s Division Inspectorate staff co-ordinate the National inspection and sampling programme on animal feedingstuffs. The Crop Production and Safety Division deal with administrative matters. The Chief Inspector has overall responsibility for food safety matters, including animal feed. The minimum entry requirement for staff employed in the inspectorate is an honours university degree in agricultural science (B. Agr. Sc.) or equivalent. 4 At Regional level: For inspection and control purposes the country is divided up into fifteen regions with an authorised officer of the DAFF assigned to each region. These authorised officers (SAO’s) report to a District Superintendent (DS) who in turn reports to an Area Superintendent (AS). The AS reports to an Agricultural Inspector at central level. The minimum entry requirement for regional officers is a National Certificate in Agriculture. 5 Figure 2: ORGANISATION CHART DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FISHERIESAND FOOD AGRICULTURAL PAYMENTS FOOD SAFETY AND PRODUCTION POLICY CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT Chief Inspector ANIMAL FEEDINGSTUFFS CONTROL GROUP Crop Production & Safety Division Administration Inspections & Control Feedingstuffs….

Authorised Officers are empowered to inspect all premises where feedingstuffs are manufactured, imported, stored or used, including use at farm level, and to seize and detain products where they have reasonable grounds for believing that a contravention of the feedingstuffs Regulations has occurred. Within the DAF, the Feedingstuffs Inspectorate staff co-ordinates the inspection and sampling in co-operation, where relevant, with other Divisions of DAFF and in particular, Veterinary Division. The Feedingstuffs Inspectorate also liase, where appropriate, with the FSAI, EPA, Department of Health and Children, Department of Marine and Natural Resources, and with Customs officials in implementing feed controls. At Regional level: At regional level the Authorised Officers carry out certain designated functions in line with those pertaining to the Inspectorate staff at Central level. These include the routine inspection of premises; sampling of imported feed materials along with materials of domestic origin for analysis. Again, Authorised Officers at regional level are empowered to inspect all premises where feedingstuffs are manufactured, imported, stored or used, and to seize and detain products where they suspect that a contravention of the Regulations has occurred. Crop Production and Safety Division (CPSD) All CPSD staff are centrally based. Certain staff in the Division (PO, APO, HEO and EO) are authorised officers under the feedingstuff legislation and are empowered, inter alia, to direct the CSSO to initiate legal proceedings against a non compliant Feed Business Operator (FBO) (following a recommendation from the Feedingstuffs Division); to issue licences and registration certificates to FBOs; and to issue instructions to FBOs to undertake certain activities following the identification of non compliance by Feedingstuffs Division. 7 1.2.3 Cooperation with DAFF Veterinary Division Within the DAFF, the Feedingstuffs Inspectorate implements the inspection and sampling programme in co-operation, where relevant, with the Veterinary Division. The roles of both the Animal feedingstuffs Inspectorate and Veterinary Division have developed over the past number of years to the degree that a close co-operation exists in the field of animal nutrition. The current legislation in force in the feedingstuffs sector relates principally to the following broad areas:            The marketing of feedingstuffs, The marketing and use of additives in feedingstuffs, Tolerances for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs, The marketing of certain protein feeds (bio-proteins, amino acids, NPN’s etc,), Methods of analysis and sampling, Medicated feedingstuffs, Animal Health (Prohibited Animal Proteins etc,), Salmonella, Genetically Modified Organisms, Establishments (Good Manufacturing Practice), Dietetic Feeds (Particular Nutritional Purposes). The main areas of co-operation between the Animal Feedingstuffs Inspectorate and Veterinary Division include Medicated feedingstuffs, Salmonella and the control of Prohibited Animal Proteins (PAP’s) in animal feed. 1.2.4 Laboratory testing The State Laboratory is the principal laboratory responsible for feedingstuffs analysis in Ireland. In the case of all analyses other than for animal proteins (microscopic testing), the State Laboratory undertakes the work and outsources only in the case of certain analyses for which they themselves are not equipped to carry out. Samples of feedingstuffs are submitted to one of the designated laboratories listed in Table 1-1. 8 Table 1-1 Designated testing laboratories – 2007 Name Address 1.2.4.1.1.1 State Laboratory DAFF Crops Laboratory Pesticide Laboratory Leatherhead Food RA Celbridge Celbridge Co.

The objective of the control programme is to ensure that feedingstuffs and all substances used in animal nutrition comply with the legislation referred to in Appendix 1. The aim of the controls is to ensure that feedingstuffs themselves or feeding practices do not constitute a hazard to human or animal health or the environment. Legislation also provides that stockowners and pet owners are reasonably informed of the quality of the feed that they offer to livestock and pets, respectively. The controls are implemented through risk based inspections and sampling of feedingstuffs, by authorised staff, at all stages of the feed chain, including importation, storage, manufacture and use at farm level. The inspection programme for 2007 was drawn up in accordance with Council Regulation 882/2004/EC. 1.3.2 Criteria followed in establishing the control programmes 1.3.2.1 EP and Council Regulation 1831/2003 (Additives in Feedingstuffs) The surveillance programme aimed to ensure that feed additives used in animal feed are authorised under Regulation 1831/2003 and that they are used only in accordance with the conditions of the authorisation. During inspections the relevant labelling particulars of the products were examined on-site and where samples were drawn, the label was attached to the sampling form for verification purposes. Controls are carried out at all stages of the feed chain from manufacture of the additives to use at farm level. The analysis programme focused in particular on the following:  Use of trace elements in animal feed  Use of authorised and unauthorised medicinal additives (Commission Recommendation SANCO 2005/925/EC)  Use of authorised additives at levels in excess of the maximum levels laid down. Commission Recommendation SANCO 2005/925/EC required that member states examine the level of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) in compound feed for pigs. In addition the maximum permitted levels of certain trace elements were amended in 2003, and the analysis programme focused, in particular, on certain areas where non-compliance was suspected. The 11 Commission Recommendation also includes assessment of certain authorised and nonauthorised medicinal substances in animal nutrition. The aim was to target those rations or situations where non-compliance was suspected. In the case of the banned feed additives, the programme focused, where possible, on home-mix rations. In the case of the authorised feed additives, the programme focused on the correct addition of the additive to the ration and, in particular, the absence of coccidiostats from broiler withdrawal diets. A number of such samples were sourced at farm level. The selection of samples for analysis was based on risk analysis. 1.3.2.2 Council Directive 82/471/EEC (concerning certain products used in animal nutrition) The aim of the surveillance programme was to ensure that the products used in animal feed were authorised under Directive 82/471/EEC and that they were used in accordance with the conditions of the authorisation. Controls focused on their use in the manufacture of premixes/mineral mixtures and compound feeds. Where samples were drawn, the labelling particulars were forwarded to HQ for confirmation of their conformance with the legislative requirements. 1.3.2.3 Council Directive 96/25/EC (on the circulation and use of feed materials) Up to two thirds of the non-forage feed materials used in feedingstuffs were imported, mainly from Third Countries. All consignments from Third Countries were subject to identity and physical checks (DAFF Officials) and documentary checks (customs officials). Importers were required to inform the Department prior to importation of a consignment and this information was recorded on a database. In 2007 all imports of feed materials from Third Countries were analysed for the presence of constituents of animal origin. Unprocessed feed materials from the EU were sampled on a risk basis. The standard documentation (Directive 95/53/EC, Article 9) was also checked where appropriate. All feed materials put into circulation were subject to random checks to ensure that the correct descriptive name and the appropriate labelling particulars accompanied each batch. Inspections focused on seaports and stores that the importers used for their product prior to putting into circulation. The inspecting officer completed a report in respect of each inspection carried out at such premises. A survey of various food operators was carried out in 2003 in order to determine the type of by-products that are in use in animal nutrition. Since then and in 2007, follow up inspections 12 were carried out at food manufacturers premises, brokers and at farm level. The aim was to ensure that any by-product that may represent a potential hazard in animal feed would be identified. 1.3.2.4 feedingstuffs) Establishments manufacturing compound feeds and premix/mineral mixtures were subject to regular unannounced inspections and a report was completed in respect of each inspection. When samples were taken for analysis, the labelling particulars were attached to the sample report form. During the inspection, particular attention was paid to the feed materials in stock, the additives used and the labelling particulars of the compound feeds. A number of inspections were carried out on farms with livestock to ensure that purchased compound feed originated from establishments which were registered or approved under Council Regulation 183/2005. The labelling details were examined during the inspection and samples taken on a selective basis. The analysis programme focused in particular on compliance with the statutory labelling requirements as laid down in the annex to the Directive. 1.3.2.5 Council Directive 2002/32/EC (on undesirable substances in animal nutrition) The analysis of additives and feed materials was targeted where possible on materials that were considered to represent a potential risk. Particular emphasis was placed on fulfilling the requirements outlined in Commission Recommendation 576 of 2006 concerning mycotoxin levels in feed materials and compound feed. 1.3.2.6 Council Directive 93/74/EEC (feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes) Controls in this category included the products referred to as “nutritional supplements”. Labels were checked for compliance, with particular attention being paid to the level of use of additives and the claims made concerning the purpose and efficacy of the products. A limited number of samples were taken for analysis. Council Directive 79/373/EEC (on the marketing of compound 13 1.3.2.7 Council Regulation (EC) 183/2005 (laying down requirements for feed hygiene) During 2007, some 50% of establishments approved for the manufacture of compound feed and premixes/mineral mixtures were formally inspected to ensure continued compliance with the conditions of approval. These inspections were prearranged in order to ensure that the appropriate personnel were present during the inspection. An inspection report was completed in respect of each visit and any deficiencies identified brought to the attention of the establishment. All such operators were also subject to a number of un-announced visits to assess compliance with general feed legislation. The annual inspection programme includes unannounced inspections at all levels of the feed chain including importers, storers, retailers and on-farm. In the case of on-farm inspections deficiencies are cross reported to the Integrated Controls Division for cross compliance at farm level. 1.3.2.8 Council Regulation (EC) 999/2001 (concerning protection measures with regard to TSEs and the feeding of animal protein) The control measures involved inspections of storage facilities for feed materials and sampling and analysis of imported feed materials and compound feed. Inspections were also carried out at compound feed manufacturing premises, intermediary premises and on stock holdings. The number of inspections and sampling frequencies was based on risk assessment criteria. A number of importers, establishments and stock farms have been licensed in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) 1292/2005 to import, use or feed fishmeal and blood products from non ruminants. Each importer is required to inform DAFF in advance of importation of a consignment. Consignments from 3rd countries may not be put into circulation until it has been sampled and analysed for the presence of mammalian bone. In practice, the provisions of the Regulations concerning dicalcium phosphate from defatted bones and hydrolysed proteins is not availed of by most operators, and these products are not generally used in Ireland. Importers of dicalcium phosphate were required to provide documentary evidence concerning the origin of the material and to pass this information on to their customers (e.g. compound feed mills, premixtures and mineral mixture manufacturers). However in 2007 in the case of one retailer of horse feed, the Department availed of a derogation set out in the EU legislation to allow the marketing of Dicalcium Phosphate of 14 animal origin on farms where ruminant animals are not kept; and this derogation was dependent on the observation of strict measures by both the retailer and by the end user to ensure the product does not enter the ruminant feed chain. All inspections were unannounced and a standard report was completed in respect of the unannounced visits. 1.3.2.9 Salmonella The salmonella-testing programme was focused on protein sources of vegetable origin. In addition, bulk storage facilities at retail premises were targeted for sampling, particularly where the hygiene standards were considered to be poor. These samples included both feed materials and compound feed. A random selection of grain stores used for the storage of native grain were also selected for inspection in 2007. 1.3.2.10 Regulation (EC) 1829/2003 on Genetically modified food and feed. Regulation 1829/2003 on Genetically modified food and feed came into force in 2004. Controls focused mainly on imports of feed materials. Sampling and analysis was targeted at whole seeds and by products of commercially available genetically modified organisms i.e. soya bean, oilseed rape, maize and cotton. Furthermore, sampling and analysis focused primarily on shipments from outside the EU (both direct and transhipped). In addition a small number of analyses was carried out on compound feed. At the end of April 2007 a Rapid Alert was issued when a consignment of maize by-products docked in Rotterdam was tested and found positive for Herculex RW. This boat had already discharged in Ireland. All unused raw material was detained, and sampling carried out which tested positive for the new event. In October ’07, Herculex RW was authorised for use in the EU and so all detained material (7,000 t) was released. In the interim, importers were requested to provide negative certificates with each consignment. 1.3.2.11 Council Directive 90/167/EEC (Medicated Feedingstuffs) Under Irish regulations a licence is required to manufacture a premixture/mineral mixture or a compound feedingstuff containing a medicine. Inspections were carried out at licensed premises and the documentation required under the regulations was inspected. These visits were unannounced and carried out on a regular basis. A standard report form was completed 15 in respect of each inspection. When samples were taken for analysis, the labelling particulars were attached to the sample identification form. A number of samples were taken at on-farm mixer premises and analysed for the presence of medicines. These samples were targeted in particular on feed intended for monogastrics. Recovery levels of some medicines in feed had been low in 2005 and 2006. In 2006 the Irish Medicines Board requested a survey to be completed on 7 feed mills in conjunction with DAF Veterinary Medicines Division and the State Lab to ascertain the reason for the low recovery rates. Samples for this survey were also collected in 2007. The survey involved analysis of feeds containing CTC (Chlortetracycline) and Sulfoprim (Sulphadiazine). The feed was sampled before and after pelleting. This was to determine the loss of medicine in the pelleting process in Irish feed mills. Samples were taken by staff from the Feedingstuffs Division in the course of their routine inspections. Surveys took take place in Jan/Feb, May/June and Sept/Oct 2007. In total 84 samples were tested as part of this survey. 1.3.2.12 European Communities (Animal By-products) Regulations 1774/2002 Used cooking oils The UK and Ireland received a derogation from the ban on the use of used cooking oil in animal feedingstuffs. The transitional measures of this derogation are detailed in Commission Decision 2003/320/EC. The derogation ended on the 31 October 2004 and since then, no Used Cooking Oil can enter the feed chain. A check was carried out as part of the inspection process of feed mills that UCO’s were not being used. Tallow The production and distribution of tallow, for use in animal feed, is controlled by the veterinary inspectorate of the Department. Users of tallow must be given a document giving details of the origin of the material as certified by a veterinary inspector. 16 Phosphorous level in feeds The Specialist Farms Services, Environment and Evaluation Division (SFSEE) of DAF requires information on levels of P & N in animal slurries. In June 2005, Animal Feedingstuffs and SFSEE completed a survey on animal feedingstuffs for Phosphorus levels. The results of the survey led to an updating of accepted values for P & N levels in slurry. As a result of these results, a system on ongoing monitoring of P & N levels is required. In 2007, 50 pig feed samples, 35 poultry feed samples and 35 samples of ruminant feed were tested for Phosphorous. Samples are drawn based on production volume by each operator and some samples of home rations were tested. 1.3.3 Risk Analysis for inspections and sampling of Feeds Inspections, sampling and analysis are carried out on the basis of a risk assessment, and, in particular, from experience gained from previous inspections and analysis of samples. Inspections and sampling were based on the number of operators and the type and volume of feed produced. At manufacturing level, feed mills producing both ruminant compound feed and nonruminant compound feed are not permitted to manufacture compound feed containing prohibited animal proteins. Only two feed mills produced non-ruminant compound feed containing prohibited animal proteins. All imports of feed materials from third countries were inspected and sampled. Random sampling of imported compound feedingstuffs was also carried out at intermediary’s premises. In the case of farm inspections, they were chosen on the basis of risk criteria as set out in Appendix 4. On-farm samples of feed were taken where available. Where possible, authorised officers drew samples in accordance with the provisions specified in Directive 76/371/EEC. 1.3.4 Enforcement 1.3.4.1 Warnings When a sample was found to be in contravention of the Feed Regulations, the responsible person was notified in writing and an explanation sought on the reason for the contravention and the measures taken to prevent a reoccurrence. The relevant field officer in the area was 17 informed of both the contravention and the response of the company to the above-mentioned notification. Subsequently, the field officer may check the measures taken by the company during subsequent inspections at the company’s premises and in the case of discrepancies of an analytical nature, a further sample may be taken. Establishments were notified in writing of infringements detected during inspections and were instructed to take appropriate corrective action. 1.3.4.2 Seizure and Detention Consignments of feed were subject to seizure and detention for breaches of the feed Regulations. Authorised officers have the powers to seize and detain any suspect animal feed and also to instruct the operators to initiate a recall of the suspect or contaminated feed. The instruction to block the putting into circulation and/or recall of feed can be aimed at specific operators or on all affected operators in the feed chain on a National basis. Such notifications can be by oral or written instruction (oral instruction will always be followed up with a written instruction). It is the responsibility of the operators to carry out the recall as detailed in the instruction and where appropriate, follow up inspections may be carried out by authorised officers to ensure that the recall has been carried out according to the instruction. Depending on the nature and scale of the incident the Department may also use the National media to instruct all holders and users of an animal feed to block circulation and use of the feed. 1.3.4.3 Penalties There is provision under the various regulations on feedingstuffs for specific control measures at national level and penalties in the event of breaches. Under legislation where the activity is the subject of a Licence or the issue of an Approval / Registration status, such Licences or Approval’s / Registrations can be withdrawn by the Minister of Agriculture and Food in the case of non-conformity with requirements. Financial penalties can only be applied following a successful prosecution in Court. 18 1.4 STRUCTURE OF THE INDUSTRY 1.4.1 ADDITIVES AND BIOPROTEINS With the exception of two manufacturers, all additives and bio proteins used within the State for nutritional purposes are imported. Additives and additive preparations are imported in pre-packaged form, and fifteen intermediaries are engaged in the importation and distribution of these products. A number of premix manufacturers also import their own requirements for the more commonly used additives, mainly vitamins and trace elements. The importation of such products is subject to the pre-notification procedures referred to in 1.2.5 above. Additive preparations are not normally purchased by compound feed manufacturers, except for enzymes and micro-organisms where the practice of direct addition to compound feeds is growing. 1.4.2 Pre-mixtures and Mineral Mixtures Pre mixtures and mineral mixtures are manufactured at dedicated establishments and sold to manufacturers of compound feed and, in the case of mineral mixtures, to farmers for on-farm mixing. Products intended for use in the manufacture of ruminant diets are virtually all manufactured within the State, while a significant proportion of the pre-mixtures required for use in pig and poultry diets are imported, mainly from Northern Ireland. There were 19 establishments approved to manufacture pre-mixtures and mineral mixtures in 2007. 19 1.4.3 Compound Feedingstuffs During 2007 there were 80 Approved establishments engaged in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs for sale. A breakdown of the proportion of establishments engaged in the manufacture of compound feeds by category of product is shown in Table 1-3: Table 1-3 Percentage of licensed establishments manufacturing different product categories - 2007 Category of products % Ruminants, Pigs & Poultry Ruminants only Pig and Poultry only Mineral mixtures/premixtures Other TOTAL 11 100% 29 46 2 12 The output of individual establishments varies from 1,000 to 260,000 tonnes per annum. The largest 11 establishments manufactured more than 50 % of the total output of compound feed in 2007. 20 1.5 PRODUCTION OF FEEDINGSTUFFS 1.5.1 FEED MATERIALS 1.5.1.1 Forages In Ireland over 80% of the dry matter intake of ruminants is derived from grazed or conserved grass (silage and hay). Compound feeds are fed to ruminants as complementary diets to grass. Other forages such as roots, brassicas, etc. constitute a relatively minor amount of the daily ration. The production of maize silage has increased from a low base of 1,300 hectares in 1993 to 24,000 hectares in 2007. This is due to the introduction of varieties more suitable to Northern European conditions and also to the availability of Area Aid support for that crop. The dairy herd (1.3 million cows) is maintained mainly for the production of milk for processing (butter, cheese, etc.), with some 85% of production exported annually. The bulk of this milk is produced from grazed grass and concentrate intake is kept to a minimum for economic reasons. Spring calving programmes are designed to optimise the utilisation of grazed grass for milk production, and consequently cows are only fed concentrate feeds for a short period after calving (2 - 3 Kg/head/day). A little over 10% of the dairy herd produces liquid milk for human consumption. These herds calve down in the Autumn as well as Spring and consequently concentrate intake is much greater (5 - 8 kg/head/day at peak production). The beef herd (4.5 million) is based on specialist beef producers with some 90% of production exported. Ruminant feeds are the largest sector of the feed industry in Ireland with some 60% of this market dedicated to beef production. 21 1.5.1.2 Concentrates Approximately two thirds of the non-forage feed materials consumed within the country is imported, mainly from outside the EU. The main feed materials produced within the State are cereals (principally barley) and to a much lesser extent, by-products derived from the brewing, distilling and flour milling industries. The proportion of cereals in compound feed formulations has grown since the implementation of CAP reform, which resulted in significant reductions in cereal prices. During 2007, cereals along with all feed materials increased significantly in price due to a number of global economic and supply factors. Cereals now account for upward of 30% of the total raw materials used in compound feeds. Approved manufacturers of compound feeds use over 80% of available feed materials in the manufacture of compound feed. Less than 20% are fed as straights or used for on-farm mixing, which is mainly confined to ruminant diets and a small number of specialised pig producers. This activity is increasing over time as farm size increases. 1.5.1.3 Pre-mixtures and Mineral mixtures Approximately 50 % of the 70,000 tonnes of product within this category are sold to Approved / Registered compound feed manufacturers for use in the production process. Sales to farmers is confined to mineral mixtures for use in on-farm mixing (mainly for ruminants) and to mineral blocks and mineral licks for direct feeding to grazing ruminants, who do not have access to compound feeds. A breakdown of the production of pre-mixtures and mineral mixtures manufactured for sale in 2007 is included in Appendix 2. 22 1.5.1.4 Compound Feed Preliminary CSO estimates indicate a 10.2% increase in prices in 2007. This is likely to increase to 13% when the final figures are collated. The volume of compound feedingstuffs produced decreased to 3.6 million tonnes in 2007 from the record high level of 3.86 million tonnes in 2006. Despite the decrease in production, the overall cost of annual feedingstuffs rose from €970m in 2006 to € 1,024 billion in 2007 due mainly to the dramatic increase in prices. Compound feed production in Ireland is unusual when compared to other European Countries in that ruminant feeds make up the largest component of the market. Compound feeds for ruminants currently represent about 58% of total production, the remainder utilised by: pigs 17%, poultry 12%, and compound feeds for other species 12%. The fact that ruminant feeds are the largest sector of the feed industry results in a seasonal bias, with the six-month period from October to March accounting for over 60% of annual output. This seasonal bias requires additional production capacity to meet peak demand, with consequent underutilisation during the rest of the year. A breakdown of the production of compound feeds manufactured for sale in 2007 is given in Appendix 2. 23 2 CHAPTER 2 2.1 RESULTS OF CONTROLS 2.1.1 Inspections (Table 2-1) During 2007, a total of 2394 risk based inspections were carried out at establishments engaged in the storage and distribution of feed materials, the manufacture of compound feeds, mineral mixtures/pre-mixtures and farms. An inspection report form was completed for each of these inspections. Details of these inspections are presented in Table 2-1. Establishments were notified of infringements detected during inspections, relating mainly to a failure to maintain the premises in a clean orderly manner, and were instructed to take appropriate corrective action. These deficiencies were noted on the inspection report. 2.1.2 Samples per Type of Feed Business (Table 2-2) The total number of samples is broken down by type of Feed Business in Table 2-2. A total of 2182 samples were taken in 2007. Samples were taken at importers stores prior to circulation of feed materials, at compound feed manufacturers, and at farms. A total of 610 cases of infringements were detected based on analysis results. 2.1.3 Samples per Category of Feed (Table 2-3) The total number of samples is broken down according to the category of Feedingstuffs in Table 2-3. Of the total number of samples taken in 2007, 56% were of compound feedingstuffs while 31% were of feed materials taken at import. 2.1.4 Analyses (Table 2-4, Table 2-5, Table 2.6, Table 2-7 and Table 2-8 The results of the analyses carried out on samples of feedingstuffs in 2007 are presented for undesirable substances in Table 2-4 and Table 2-5 and in relation to analytical constituents in Table 2-6 and Table 2-7. The results of the analysis of Feed Additives in Feedingstuffs are presented in Table 2.8. 24 2.1.5 Analytical methods and limits (Table 2-9) For analyses on undesirable substances and contaminants the analytical methods and limits of detection are set out in Table 2-9. 2.1.6 Labelling checks (Table 2-10) Table 2-10 summarises the results of the labelling checks on feedingstuffs carried out during 2007. A total of 2391 labels were examined for compliance with feedingstuffs legislation. There was a significant reduction in 2007 in the proportion of labelling offences detected in compound feed compared to other years. 2.1.7 Frequency and type of non-compliance Non-compliances occur in two basic forms. Firstly there are the infringements identified during the inspection of Feed Business Operators (FBOs) and the second are non-compliances associated with a specific sample. During inspections a total of 146 infringements were identified in 2007. A total of 448 cases of analytical results out of tolerance were identified in samples taken along with 112 samples where the label contravened legislation. A further 50 samples were non-compliant for a range of other minor issues. 2.1.8 Analysis of non-compliance  Occurrence: Inspections and sampling covers all areas and all products in the animal feed industry. The occurrence’s of non-compliances in 2007 was distributed across the industry. The types of non-compliances identified in 2007, as a result of inspection, were generally minor in nature. On inspection, officers may identify problems with hygiene, storage, traceability etc. These infringements can be broken down into three categories. These are Minor, Significant and Serious. In 2007 only 17 of the 146 infringements were identified as being “Serious”. The samples analysed in 2007 identified only a very small number of cases where there was a significant potential risk to either animals or humans. For example of the 610 samples out of tolerance, only 3 samples had undesirable substances greater than the max permitted. Two of these were reported at the time of incident on the EU Rapid Alert System for reporting food/feed safety incidents 25 (RASFF). The numbers identified as being out of tolerance in 2007 would have been broadly similar to other years.  Nature of the associated risk: A risk assessment is carried out for each case of non-compliance in order to ensure feed and food safety. This assessment is based on procedures and practices, which have been drawn up within the Division. As a result of this process an appropriate action will be carried out which can range from a letter being written to the responsible person looking for an explanation for the non-compliance to product being detained and destroyed.  Root cause of non-compliance: Within the animal feed industry in Ireland the main causes of non-compliance are human / technical error or non-adherence to protocols laid down in quality manuals. In general the feed industry is very aware of their obligations to feed and food safety and have invested heavily in systems to ensure that standards are met. 26 Table 2-1 Inspections Per Type of Feed Business – Ireland 2007 IRELAND 2007 N° of operators (1) N° of inspection visits (2) N° of operators visited Approved / Type of feed business Registered (3) Producers of feed materials Importers / Stores of feed materials Manufacturers of additives and premixtures Manufacturers of compound feedingstuffs Hauliers of animal feed Wholesalers/retailers of animal feed Animal farms (4) Other feed businesses TOTAL 78 156 21 80 967 652 134,384 0 136,338 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78 156 21 80 967 652 134,384 0 136,338 Others TOTAL Approved / Registered (3) 50 547 30 246 153 318 1050 0 2394 Others TOTAL Approved / Registered (3) 50 101 12 75 153 279 1050 0 1720 Others TOTAL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50 547 30 246 153 318 1050 0 2394 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50 101 12 75 153 279 1050 0 1720 (1) If an operator performs several different activities, it is classified on the basis of its main activity (2) An inspection is any official control action where at least a documentary check, an inspection or an audit of an establishment / operator is carried out However a visit of an operator for the single purpose of taking samples is not considered an inspection visit.

Details of the programme to be implemented are contained in the Commission Recommendation 2005/925/EC. In accordance with Article 4 of Directive 882/2004 the control programme was carried out on a risk based strategy. Inspection and sampling is based on the number of operators and the type and volume of production. All imports of feed materials from third countries were inspected and sampled. Random sampling of imported compound feed was also carried out. Inspections at farm level were carried out on the basis of risk criteria in respect of feed hygiene and BSE issues. The results of the Coordinated Programme are presented in the following tables. ANNEX 1 During 2007 Member States were asked to collect data relating to the occurrence of certain mycotoxins in animal feed. The results of these analyses are presented in Table 3-1. In no case did the analysis result for Aflatoxin B1 analysis exceed the maximum permitted level laid down in Directive 2002/32/EC. The methods of analysis are presented in Appendix 3. ANNEX II The unauthorised use of additives in feedingstuffs was also investigated in 2007. Samples of premixtures and compound feeds were analysed for the presence of banned additives Carbadox, Tylosin phosphate, Decoquinate, Virginiamycin ,.Dimetridiazole, Avilamycin and Salinomycin. A total of 112 samples were analysed for the presence of these banned medicinal substances (see Chapter 2, Table 2-5). In addition to these analyses, a number of samples were analysed to investigate the inappropriate use of authorised feed additives (see Chapter 2, Table 2.8). A summary of the analysis carried out to determine the presence of banned antibiotics is presented in Table 3-2. ANNEX III The tables in Annex III refer to the checks concerning Processed Animal Proteins (PAPs). Table 3-3 refers to the documentary checks carried out on inspections, while Table 3-4 refers to the results of analyses for the presence of PAPs. In 2007 there were no contamination incidents with regard to constituents of animal origin, as outlined in Table 3-5. ANNEX IV The tables in Annex IV refer to the individual results of all samples concerning the content of copper and zinc in compound feedingstuffs for pigs. Summaries of the results, both compliant and non-compliant, are presented in Table 3-6 and Table 3-7. 42 ANNEX I TYPE AND CONCENTRATION OF MYCOTOXINS (μG/KG RELATIVE TO A FEEDINGSTUFF WITH A MOISTURE

Responsibility for the transposition of EU legislation in the feedingstuffs sector rests with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Since accession to EU membership, all Irish regulations concerning animal feedingstuffs have been repealed. Since 1973 all EU legislation on feedingstuffs has been given effect under the European Communities Act, 1972, a legal instrument specifically enacted to give effect to the Treaties governing the European Communities and to enable the introduction of regulations giving effect to EC legislation. The current legislation in force in the feedingstuffs sector relates principally to the following broad areas:            The marketing of feed materials and Compound feeds, The marketing and use of additives in feedingstuffs, Tolerances for undesirable substances and products in feedingstuffs, The marketing of certain protein feeds (bio-proteins, amino acids, NPN’s etc,) Dietetic feeds Approval and Registration of Establishments and Intermediaries operating in the Animal Feed Sector Methods of analysis and sampling, Medicated feedingstuffs, Genetically Modified Organisms Contaminants in food Animal Proteins A list of all legislation in force in 2007 in the feedingstuffs sector is provided in Appendix 1. APPENDIX 1: LEGISLATION ON ANIMAL FEEDINGSTUFFS - 200725 MARKETING OF FEEDINGSTUFFS 1.
