Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) will revise the ministerial ordinance on the Specifications and Standards of Feeds and Feed Additives:

- to designate Manganese methionine hydroxy analogue chelate and Copper methionine hydroxy analogue chelate as feed additives and establish their standards and specifications;

and 

- to remove the maximum content limits of Astaxanthin, β-Apo-8'-carotenic acid ethylester and Canthaxanthin in semi-manufactured products for feed, and add standards for labelling on them which contain Astaxanthin, β-Apo-8'-carotenic acid ethylester and Canthaxanthin more than the maximum content limit in final feed products.
