 COMMERCIAL FEED 1N KENTUCKY, 1955 '
The estimated tonnage of commercial feeds consumed in Kentucky during
1955 was 541,536 tons. This was 24,682 tons less than was consumed in 1954.
Estimated tonnage of feed sold in Kentucky beginning with 1940, was as
follows:
1940 .... 356,138 1948 .... 634,000
1941 .... 350,000 1949 .... 607, 255

A summary of estimated sales by class of feed is given on page 4.
In 1955, inspectors colledted 2,886 samples of feed. Out of these samples
2, 347 equaled guarantee or were within tolerance; 1, 658 equaled gurantee in every
respect; 689 were within one halt of one percent of gurantee; 162 were below
guarantee in protein; 129 below guarantee in fat; 110 above guarantee in fiber;
83 adulterated; 49 misbranded; 48 above gurantee in urea; 18 below guarantee
in calcium; 1 below guarantee in phosphorus.
The record of samples correctly labeled in 1955 was 81%. This was three
percent over the record for 1954.
The percentage of feed samples meeting the guarantee for each of the
past seven years is summarized as follows:
1948 .... 56% 1952 .... 78%

COMMERCIAL FEEDS, 1955
PURPOSE OF FEED LAW
Laws have as their basic principles, right and justice, protection and ser-
vice, and if properly administered are great educators. Successful administration
depends largely upon the cooperation of those whose interests they affect. The
active interest and degree of cooperation of those so affected depend also on ade-
· quate knowledge of the provisions of the law and the ends to be attained in its proper
· operation. The operation of a law, therefore, should not only properly regulate or
control, but should be educative as well. In the administration of the feedstuffs con-
trol in Kentucky this two-fold purpose has always been kept in view.
The manufacture and distribution of commercial feeds have reached large
proportions. lnasmuch as the feeders of Kentucky alone pay annually upwards of
fifty million dollars for stock feed, exclusive of whole grains and roughages, it is
very important that the feeder, as well as the manufacturer and distributor, under-
stand the significane of the feedstuffs law and its operation, and the various terms
relative to the manufacture and distribution of feedstuffs.
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
The State feedstuffs law requires each brand of commercial feed to be reg-
istered with the Feed Control Department of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station and each bag of feed to be labeled with a Kentucky official tag giving the
i manufacturer's guaranty, before it can be lawfully sold or offered for sale in the
State. lf a manufacturer is on the reporting system, this information may be placed
on a private tag or on the bag. Before an application for registration is accepted, it
is examined carefully to see if the requirements of the law have been met, as to
chemical standards and information given as to the nature of the materials used in
making the feed, the amount of essential organic ingredients, and the limitation of
fillers or materials of little or no feeding value as concentrates. Because of this
close examination of registrations, many irregularities are eliminated before the
feed appears on the market. After registrations are accepted and the feed appears
on the market, inspections are made and samples taken and analyzed, to compare
them with their registrations and guaranties. lf a feed is found to be misbranded or
adulterated, proper hearing is given the manufacturer and if the case merits, court
action is entered against the offender and the registration is subject to cancellation.

 6 Regulatory Bulletin No. 127
MEDICATED FEED
Drugs in feed aid in the prevention, control and cure of disease. Growth stimu- L
lation also results from the use of some drugs.
The Federal Food & Drug Administration requires a special label on all feeds
containing medicines. The name of the drug or mixture must appear as the first item
at the top of the label. This is followed by a statement of percentage of the active
drug ingredient.
The recommended use of the feed appears next on the label, followed by "Inc0r-
porated in" and the name of the feed such as John Doe Broiler Mash. The customary
manufacturer's guaranteed chemical analysis and ingredient list is followed by a Cau-
tion or Warning statement as shown on the sample label. If feeding directions are re-
quired, they appear on the same tag.
The following is a sample label for a feed containg drug:
Net Weight ·
Nicarbazin and 3-Nitro Mixture
Active Drug Ingredients:
Nicarbazin 0. 0125%
3-Nitro-4-Hydroxyphenylarsonic Acid 0. 005%

Crude Fat, not less than ...... 3. 00
Crude Fiber, not more than . , . . 5.00
INGREDIENTS
Ground Corn, Pulverized Oats, Meat Scraps. etc.
CAUTION: USE ONLY AS DIRECTED ON BACK OF THIS TAG.
A sample of such directions follow:
DIRECTIONS
Unless supplementary feed also contains the same level of Nicarbazin, feed this
mixture as the only ration from the time chicks are placed on litter until the time when
ooccidiosis is ordinarily a hazard.
If losses exceed 0. 5% in a 2-day period, obtain an accurate diagnosis, and follow
the instructions of your veterinarian or poultry pathologist.
CAUTION
Do not feed to laying birds in production. Do not use flushing mashes. Do not
use this feed as a treatment for outbreaks of coccidiosis. Discontinue medication 4
days before marketing birds for human consumption to allow for elimination of the drug `
from the edible tissue.
When using feeds with drugs in them, extra care should be taken to see that the
feed is fed to the animal or poultry that the directions call for.

 Quarterly Report on Feed Samples, 1955 7
THE FEED LABEL
When buying a commercial mixed feed the purchaser should study the
label carefully. The label may appear as a tag or sticker or be printed
directly on the bag. Labels show the net weight, the name of the feed, name
of manufacturer and address, the guaranteed analysis and ingredients.
Sufficient information is given to enable the feeder to select a feed best
suited to his purpose based upon the name and description of the product.
It is important that consideration be given to the makeup of the feed
as stated on the tag in making a selection. Neglect in doing this may result
in the purchase of a product inadequate for the purpose intended. Though
' ‘ such a feed may also be less costly per 100 lb. , the actual feeding value may
be more expensive than another feed at a higher price per 100 lb. The Ken-
tucky Agricultural Experiment Station strives to impress upon feeders the
importance of reading and studying the label when selecting a feed.
A yellow tag is required on all feed sold in Kentucky that contains a
filler material such as oat hulls, ground mixed screenings, etc. The dec-
laration of percentage of such material must be a part of the labeling. If a
manufacturer wishes to print the analysis on the bag, then he must print the
analysis on a yellow background, extending well beyond the printed material.
A feed manufacturer has the option of using official Kentucky tags or
company tags. All tag copy must be approved by the Department of Feed and
Fertilizer. Most companies doing business in several states use their own
tags.
Two types of official tags are used in Kentucky. By "official" is meant
tags supplied by the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station. A manila tag
printed with red ink is for all feeds except the yellow tag feeds. A yellow tag
printed with black ink signifies that this feed contains a material of little or no
feeding value as described above.
A feeder may, of course, purchase a feed relatively high in fiber though
such materials are primarily useful as roughage. Usually the nutrients in
feeds of this type are more costly, even at a lower price per hundred weight
than when purchased in better grade feed.

Customer Formula Feed Production Capacity in Kentucky, 1955
ln September 1955 a survey of feed mixers revealed there were 276
individual operators equipped with feed mixing machinery and grinding equip- .
ment to handle farm grown grains, mixing such grains with concentrates and
supplements.
211 of these operators were equipped to grind roughage in addition to
grinding grain. 202 had attachments for metering molasses into the mix-
ture.
Of the 276 plants, 183 of them were in operation in 1950 and 86 in |
operation in 1945. This serves to indicate the rate of growth over the past
ten years. There were over three times as many plants equipped to do cus-
tom mixing in 1955 than in 1945. It was determined that l7 additional mills
were either under construction or in the plarming stage at the time the sur-
vey was made. Seventeen of the 276 operations were "portable" mills.
The 276 operators had 574 batch mixers. Some had as many as four
mixers and the average was over two mixers per operator. The total tonnage.
capacity was 657 tons (all mixers in operation at the same time). Assuming
a rate of operation of an average of a little over three batches per hour, in
one hour's operation these plants could produce approximately 2,000 tons of
mixed feed, This indicates the potential capacity. Obviously this capacity is
never fully used but if it were [ully used on an eight hour day basis, it would
take no more than 40 days to produce as much mixed feed as has ever been
sold in a given 12 month period in Kentucky.

 Quarterly Report on Feed Samples, 1955 9
UREA
For the past few years the use of urea in dairy feeds has been growing
and it's use in 1955 was much greater than any previous year.
The following information may be of some help to manufacturers and
feeders using urea.
' Urea is a white crystalline powder made by combining ammonia and
carbon dioxide under pressure in equipment that will withstand high temper-
atures.
Urea contains 46. 5% nitrogen, which is equivalent to 291% protein. The
commercial product "Z6Z" Feed Compound, is urea which has been diluted
with other materials to prevent caking, and contains 42% nitrogen which is
equivalent to 262% protein. The addition of 1 percent of this material to a
dairy feed is equivalent to adding Z. 62% protein. Besides urea's protein
equivalent value, one must also consider its lack of energy value as compared
to the common high protein feeds. An example of this, if the nitrogen in urea
is used as efficiently as the nitrogen in high protein feeds, it will require ap-
proximately 14 pounds of urea, plus 100 pounds of grain to replace 100 pounds
of soybean oilmeal.
Urea, when used as an ingredient in feeds sold in Kentucky is shown in
the guaranteed analysis as follows: Crude Protein %. This
includes not more than % equivalent crude protein from non-protein
nitrogen. Crude Fat %. Crude Fiber %. One per-
cent of "262 Feed Compound" would be 2. 62% equivalent protein from non—protein
nitrogen. Urea should be shown as an ingredient under "lngredients".
Cattle, sheep, and goats are able to convert urea to a usable form through
the action of micro-organisms in the rumen. The organisms convert the nitrogen
of urea to protein in their cell bodies which are in turn digested by the animal.
Horses, swine, dogs, and other single-stomach animals are unable to
utilize urea.
The Association of American Feed Control Officials has a regulation to the
effect that urea be used in such limited quantities as to insure the total amount
present shall not exceed 3 percent of the (grain) ration or I/3 of the total protein.
If a feed contains more than 3 percent of urea, the label shall bear a statementof
proper usage and the following in type of such conspicuousness as to render it
likely to be read and understood by ordinary individuals under customary condi-
tions of purchase and use.
WARNING: This feed should be used only in accordance with directions
furnished on the label.

METHOD OF CALCULATING THE ANALYSIS OF
A FEED MIXTURE
Requests are often received for a method of calculating the analysis of a given
feed mixture. Examples are given of two classes of feed most commonly mixed by
the feeder, in 1,000—pound batches, for his stock.
Example l. 20-percent protein dairy feed
1 2 3 4
Percentage Hundreds of Pounds of
_ of protein, pounds of protein from
Ingredmms or pounds each each
in 100 ingredient ingredient
150 pounds wheat bran 15 1. 5 22. 5
200 pounds ground shelled corn 9 2 18.0
150 pounds hominy meal ll 1. 5 16. 5
150 pounds cottonseed meal 41 1. 5 61. 5
150 pounds soybean oil meal 41 1. 5 61. 5
100 pounds ground oats 11 1 11.0
100 pounds alfalfa meal 14 1 14. 0
200 pounds 10 205. 0
Then 205. 0 divided by 10 = 20. 5, the percentage of protein in this feed.
Example 2. 20-percent protein laying mash
1 2 3 4
Percentage Hundreds of Pounds of
I d_ of protein, pounds of protein from
ngrc mms or pounds each each
in 100 ingredient ingredient
150 pounds wheat bran 15 1. 5 22. 5
200 pounds wheat middlings 16 2 32. 0
200 pounds ground yellow corn 9 2 18.0
100 pounds ground oats ll 1 ll. 0
150 pounds meat scraps 50 1.5 75.0
100 pounds alfalfa meal 14 1 14. 0
100 Eunds soybean oil meal 41 1 41. 0
1000 pounds 10 213. 5
Then 213. 5 divided by 10 = 21. 35, the percentage of protein in this feed.
Explanation of Method used in Table 1.
1. List the number of pounds and ingredients in column 1.
Z. Get from the guaranty on the official tag or from the average analysis the
protein content of each ingredient and put it in column 2. A
3. Place the hundreds of pounds of each ingredient in column 3. For example,
150 pounds of an ingredient is listed as 1. 5 hundred pounds.
4. Multiply the figure for each ingredient in column Z by that in column 3 to get
the figure in column 4. This is multiplying the number of pounds of protein in
a hundred, by the number of hundred pounds of each ingredient, to get the total
pounds of protein furnished by each ingredient.
5. Add column 3, which gives the total weight of the mixture, in hundred pounds.
6. Add column 4, which gives the total weight of protein in the mixture.
7. Divide the sum of column 4 by the sum of column 3. This gives the percentage
of protein in the mixture.
The percentages of other substances such as fat or fiber can be calculated in a 7
similar way.
