Sec.  558.355  Monensin.

    (a) Specifications. Monensin, as the base or the sodium salt, 
contains a minimum of 90 percent monensin activity derived from monensin 
A and a minimum of 95 percent derived from monensin A plus B. Using thin 
layer chromatography, the Rf value must be comparable to a 
reference standard (the Rf value is the distance the spots 
travel from the starting line divided by the distance the solvent front 
travels from the starting line), or, using High Performance Liquid 
Chromatography, the factor distribution of monensin Factor A or B is 
calculated as the percentage of total biopotency of all peaks. The loss 
on drying is not more than 10 percent when dried in vacuum at 60 [deg]C 
for 2 hours.
    (b) Approvals. Approvals for Type A medicated articles containing

    (b) Limitations. (1) Feed only to cattle being fed in confinement 
for slaughter. Feed continuously in complete feed at a rate of 50 to 360 
milligrams of monensin per head per day; as monensin sodium. Complete 
feeds may be manufactured from monensin liquid Type B feeds. The liquid 
Type B feeds have a pH of 4.3 to 7.1 and their labels must bear 
appropriate mixing directions. Mixing directions for liquid Type B feeds 
stored in recirculating tank systems are: Recirculate immediately prior 
to use for no less than 10 minutes, moving not less than 1 percent of 
the tank contents per minute from the bottom of the tank to the top. 
Recirculate daily, as directed in this paragraph, even when Type B feed 
is not used. Mixing directions for liquid Type B feeds stored in 
mechanical, air, or other agitation-type tank systems are: Agitate 
immediately prior to use for not less than 10 minutes, creating a 
turbulence at the bottom of the tank that is visible at the top. Agitate 
daily, as directed in this paragraph, even when Type B feed is not used. 
The liquid Type B feed must bear directions to mix thoroughly with grain 
and/or roughage prior to feeding and must bear caution statements as 
follows: Inadequate mixing, (recirculation or agitation), of liquid Type 
B feeds has resulted in increased monensin concentration which has been 
fatal to cattle.
    (2) An approved positionally stable monensin liquid Type B feed will 
not be subject to the requirements for mixing directions and cautionary 
labeling prescribed in paragraph (f)(3)(i)(b)(1) of this section. A 
manufacturer may secure approval of a positionally stable liquid Type B 
feed by (i) either filing an NADA for the product or by establishing a 
master file containing data to support the stability of its product; 
(ii) authorizing the agency to reference and rely upon the data in the 
master file to support approval of a supplemental NADA to establish 
positional stability; and (iii) requesting No. 000986 in Sec.  
510.600(c) of this chapter to file a supplemental NADA to provide for 
the use of its monensin Type A article in the manufacture of the liquid 
Type B feed specified in the appropriate master file. If the data 
demonstrate the stability of the liquid Type B feed described in the 
master file, the agency will approve the supplemental NADA. Approval of 
the Type B feed need not be published in the Federal Register because 
approval will not affect or alter the content of the regulation. The 
approval will, however, provide a basis for the individual liquid feed 
manufacturer to submit, and for the agency to approve, a medicated feed 
application under section 512(m) of the act for the liquid Type B feed. 
A manufacturer who seeks to market a positionally unstable monensin 
liquid Type B feed with mixing directions different from the standard 
established in paragraph (f)(3)(i)(b)(1) of this section may also follow 
this procedure.

caused by E. necatrix, E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. 
mivati, and E. maxima; as an aid in the control of necrotic enteritis 
caused or complicated by Clostridium spp. or other organisms susceptible 
to bacitracin; and for increased rate of weight gain, improved feed 
efficiency, and improved pigmentation.
    (b) Limitations. Feed continuously as sole ration. To control 
necrotic enteritis, start medication at first clinical signs of disease; 
vary bacitracin dosage based on the severity of infection; administer 
continuously for 5 to 7 days or as long as clinical signs persist, then 
reduce bacitracin to prevention level (50 grams/ton). Do not feed to 
laying chickens. Use as sole source of organic arsenic. Do not feed to 
chickens over 16 weeks of age. Poultry should have access to drinking 
water at all times. Drug overdosage or lack of water may

[[Page 439]]

result in leg weakness or paralysis. Withdraw 5 days before slaughter. 
As monensin sodium provided by 000986; bacitracin methylene disalicylate 
and roxarsone as provided by 046573 in Sec.  510.600(c) of this chapter.
    (iv) Amount per ton. Monensin, 90 to 110 grams, plus roxarsone, 22.7 
to 45.4 grams.
    (a) Indications for use. 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, improved 
feed efficiency, and improved pigmentation.
    (b) Limitations. Feed continuously as sole ration. Use as sole 
source of organic arsenic. Withdraw 5 days before slaughter. Do not feed 
to laying chickens. Do not feed to chickens over 16 weeks of age. 
Poultry should have access to drinking water at all times. Drug 
overdosage or lack of water may result in leg weakness or paralysis. As 
monensin sodium provided by 000986; roxarsone as provided by 046573 in 
Sec.  510.600(c) of this chapter.
    (5) Bobwhite quail--(i) Amount per ton. Monensin, 73 grams.
    (ii) Indications for use. For the prevention of coccidiosis in 
growing bobwhite quail caused by Eimeria dispersa and E. Lettyae.
    (iii) Limitations. Feed continuously as the sole ration; do not 
allow horses, other equines, mature turkeys, or guinea fowl access to 
feed containing monensin.
    (6) Goats--(i) Amount per ton. Monensin, 20 grams.
    (a) Indications for use. For the prevention of coccidiosis caused by 
Eimeria crandallis, E. christenseni, and E. ninakohlyakimovae.
    (b) Limitations. (1) Feed only to goats being fed in confinement. Do 
not feed to lactating goats. Feed continuously in Type C feed as 
monensin sodium. Type C feeds may be manufactured from monensin liquid 
Type B feeds. The liquid Type B feeds have a pH of 4.3 to 7.1 and their 
labels must bear appropriate mixing directions. Mixing directions for 
liquid Type B feeds stored in recirculating tank systems are: 
Recirculate immediately prior to use for no less than 10 minutes, moving 
not less than 1 percent of the tank contents per minute from the bottom 
of the tank to the top. Recirculate daily, as directed in this 
paragraph, even when Type B feed is not used. Mixing directions for 
liquid Type B feeds stored in mechanical, air, or other agitation-type 
tank systems are: Agitate immediately prior to use for not less than 10 
minutes, creating a turbulence at the bottom of the tank that is visible 
at the top. Agitate daily, as directed in this paragraph, even when Type 
B feed is not used. The liquid Type B feed must bear directions to mix 
thoroughly with grain and/or roughage prior to feeding and must bear 
caution statement as follows: Inadequate mixing (recirculation or 
agitation), of liquid Type B feeds has resulted in increased monensin 
concentration which could be fatal to goats.
    (2) An approved positionally stable monensin liquid Type B feed will 
not be subject to the requirements for mixing directions and cautionary 
labeling prescribed in paragraph (f)(6)(i)(b)(1) of this section. A 
manufacturer may secure approval of a positionally stable liquid Type B 
feed by (i) either filing an NADA for the product or by establishing a 
master file containing data to support the stability of its product; 
(ii) authorizing the agency to reference and rely upon the data in the 
master file to support approval of a supplemental NADA to establish 
positional stability; and (iii) requesting No. 000986 in Sec.  
510.600(c) of this chapter to file a supplemental NADA to provide for 
the use of its monensin Type A article in the manufacture of the liquid 
Type B feed specified in the appropriate master file. If the data 
demonstrate the stability of the liquid Type B feed described in the 
master file, the agency will approve the supplemental NADA. Approval of 
the Type B feed need not be published in the Federal Register because 
approval will not affect or alter the content of the regulation. The 
approval will, however, provide a basis for the individual liquid feed 
manufacturer to submit, and for the agency to approve, a medicated feed 
application under section 512(m) of the act for the liquid Type B feed. 
A manufacturer who seeks to market a positionally unstable monensin 
liquid Type B feed with mixing directions different from

[[Page 440]]

the standard established in paragraph (f)(6)(i)(b)(1) of this section 
may also follow this procedure.
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (7) Monensin may also be used in combination with:
    (i) Decoquinate alone or with tylosin as in Sec.  558.195.
    (ii) Melengestrol acetate alone or with tylosin as in Sec.  558.342.
