If prolonged medication is necessary only 1 month's requirement may be prescribed at a time. • The daily dose must be mixed into a quantity of feed corresponding to at least half the daily ration. The reason for this requirement is not explained but it is presumably to obviate inadvertent overdosing through the provision of too much medicated feed to the animals; • The prescription must be dated and is valid for only 3 months from that date. 2 THE FEED ADDITIVES DIRECTIVE There is another directive, No.
