Feeds with any amount of veterinary drugs or products listed under DA-AO No. 39, series of 1991 and DOH-AO No. 111-B Series of 1991 are also medicated feeds.

Registration and Regulatory Compliance

Previously registered feeds under Republic Act No. 1556 (the Livestock and Poultry Feeds Act, as amended) containing the specified components must now comply with medicated feed regulations.
Medicated feeds must be registered according to the provisions of Republic Act No. 3720 (the Food, Drug and Devices, and Cosmetics Act) as amended by Executive Order No. 175.
Compliance with Republic Act No. 6675 (Generics Act of 1988) is also required.

Proper registration ensures that medicated feeds meet safety, efficacy, and labeling standards.
