Member States may, without prejudice to Article 3, prescribe that the level of ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid shall not exceed 3·3 % of the dry matter in the case of compound feedingstuffs composed mainly of rice by-products, and 2·2 % of the dry matter in other cases. However, this level may be exceeded in the case of: compound feedingstuffs containing authorized mineral binding agents, mineral compound feedingstuffs, and compound feedingstuffs containing more than 50 % of sugar beet chips or pulp, provided that the level is declared as a percentage of the feedingstuff as such if it exceeds 3·3 % of the dry matter. 5.

Contents as regards analytical constituents of compound feedingstuffs for pet animals other than dogs and cats: moisture, crude protein, crude oils and fats, crude fibre, crude ash, calcium, sodium, phosphorus. 8. Declarations according to Article 5 (6): 8.1. Contents as regards analytical constituents and criteria for compound feedingstuffs, with the exception of compound feedingstuffs for pet animals and compound feedingstuffs listed in 8.2: —moisture, | —starch, | —total sugar expressed as sucrose, | —soluble protein, | —calcium, | —magnesium, | —sodium, | —phosphorus, | —cystine, | Only for pigs, poultry and pre-ruminating ruminants | —lysine, | —methionine, | —energy value calculated according to an officially recognized method. | 8.2. Contents as regards analytical constituents of mineral feedingstuffs: crude protein, soluble protein, crude oils and fats, crude fibre, magnesium. 9. Where, on official inspection pursuant to Article 12, the composition of a compound feedingstuff is found to depart from the declared content, the following minimum tolerances shall be permitted, subject to Article 3: 9.1. Where the content recorded is less than the declared content: 9.1.0. Crude protein: 1·8 units for declared contents of 30 % or more, 6 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 30 % but not less than 15 %, 0·9 unit for declared contents of less than 15 %. 9.1.1. Soluble protein: 2·5 units for declared contents of 25 % or more, 10 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 25 % but not less than 15 %, 1·5 units for declared contents of less than 15 %. 9.1.2. Total sugar: 2 units for declared contents of 20 % or more, 10 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 20 % but not less than 10 %, 1 unit for declared contents of less than 10 %. 9.1.3. Starch: 2·5 units for declared contents of 25 % or more, 10 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 25 % but not less than 10 %, 1 unit for declared contents of less than 10 %. 9.1.4. Crude oils and fats: 1·5 units for declared contents of 15 % or more, 10 % of the declared content for declared contents of less than 15 % but not less than 8 %, 0·8 unit for declared contents of less than 8 %. 9.1.5.
