 COMMERCIAL FEEDS IN KENTUCKY, 1952
The estimated tonnage of commercial feeds consumed in Kentucky during
1952, based on sale of guaranty tags, was 648, 800 tons, for which farmers
paid an estimated $55, 000, 000. This was 35, 854 tons more than was sold in
1951, and exceeded the tonnage purchased in any of the previous six years.
Tonnage of feed sold in Kentucky, as estimated from the number of tags
I issued by calendar years, beginning with 1940, was as follows:
1940 ______ 356,138 1946 ...... 647, 661
1941 ...... 350,000 1947 -..... 582. 375
1942 ...... 426, 805 1948 ..... 634,000
1943 .1.... 630,438 1949 ...... 607,255
1944 ...... 663,093 1950 ...... 584,441
1945 ...... 671,351 1951 ...... 612.946
1952 ...... 648, 800
Of the tonnage for 1952, 134, 229 tons were dairy feeds ; 51, 429 tons,
hog feed; 12, 727 tons, horse and mule feed; 166, 248 tons, poultry feed;
18, 265 tons, turkey feed; 32,274 tons, scratch feed; 5, 552 tons, rabbit feed;
924 tons, sheep feed; 6,105 tons, calf feed; 15, 608 tons stock feed; 14, 806 tons,
dog and cat feed; 180 tons, goat feed; 5,981 tons, mineral feed; 1, 901 tons,
` protein and mineral feed; 153, 834 tons, straight products and by—products and
Y 28,103 tons, miscellaneous feed.
A summary of estimated sales by class of feed is given on Table l.
The record of samples correctly labeled in 1952 was 78%. This was one
percent under the record for 1951.
The percentage of feed samples meeting the guarantee for each of the
past five years is summarized 45 follows:
. 1948. ..... 56%
1949 ...... 68%
1950 ...... 70%
1951 ...... 79%
1952 ...... 78%
In 1952, inspectors collected 3,464 samples of feed.
The laboratory made 3974 analyses for pI'0t€1¤, 3896 for fat, 3730 for
fiber, 209 for calcium, 238 for phosphorus, 207 for salt, 505 for Urea, 3437
for moisture, 161 for ash, 52 for drugs and vitamins.
Farmers, feed dealers, and manufacturers sent in 287 samples on which
1713 analyses were made.
In addition to the chemical analyses, each sample was examined micro-
sopically to determine whether or not the feed contained the guaranteed ingredients.
If ingredients other than those guaranteed were found, this was noted. Also,
the presence of adulterants, weed seeds, and such was indicated when necessary.
Ingredients present in such small amounts as to have little or no nutritional
value were also indicated by the microscopic examination.

 Quarterly Report on Feed Samples
COMMERCIAL FEEDS, 1953
PURPOSE OF FEED LAW
Laws have as their basic principles, right and justice, protection
and service, and if properly administered are great educators. Success-
ful 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 adequate 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 con-
trol, but should be educative as well. In the administration of the feed-
stuffs control 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 t.hat the feeder, as
well as the manufacturer and distributor, understand the significance 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 registered with the Feed Control Department of the Kentucky Ag-
` ricultural Experiment Station and each bag of feed to be labeled with a
, Kentucky official tag giving the manufacturer's guaranty, before it can
be lawfully sold or offered for sale in the State. Before an application for
rc;ist.·at.o.¤ 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
littl: 0* no feeding value as concentrates. Because of this close examin-
ation of registrations, many irregularities are elimated 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. If
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.
·>

 Regulatory Bulletin No, 103
THE STATE TAG
The official tag or label not only informs the buyer that sale of the
feed in question is authorized under the State law, but also gives infor-
mation as the character of the feed. The purchaser should read care-
fully that part of the printed matter which tells what materials are con-
tained in the feed, and the chemical analysis. The information given is
sufficient to enable a feeder to select the feed that best suits his purpose, _
in quality and cost. Sometimes, however, feeders neglect to consider the °
statements on the tag, and buy trashy feed, of low feeding value. Though `
such feeds may be lower in price per 100 pounds, the actual feeding value
may be more expensive than in a good, clean feed at a higher price per
100 pounds. The Department is striving to impress upon feeders the im-
portance of reading and studying the information given on the official tags,
when selecting feeds.
To mark more conspicuously certain important differences in the
character of feeds, thereby making easier the selection by the purchaser,
the Departrnent issues tags according to a three-color scheme, as
follows:
A manila tag printed with black ink designates a "straight" feed, that is,
a feed made from only one grain or plant. Examples: wheat bran; wheat
middlings; cottonseed meal; linseed oil meal; corn feed meal.
A manila tag printed with red ink designates a feed made of the products
or by··products of two or more grains or plants, that is a "straight mixed"
feed. Examples: wheat bran and corn bran; wheat bran, corn feed meal and
cottonseed meal; corn, oats and alfalfa meal. The tag plainly tells what the
materials are.
A yellow tag printed with black ink designates a feed containing a
material of little or no nutritive value. Examples; oat hulls; cottonseed l
hulls; mixed screenings; ground chaff and dust; or other material contain-
ing an excessive percentage of fiber.
If a feeder wants to buy a trashy feed, it is h_is privilege to do so. Such
materials may be useful as "roughage" tho containing little nutriment. But
it is important that he consider make-up of the feed, as stated on the tag,
in making a selection. Usually the nutrients in such feeds are more costly,
even at the lower price, than they would be if purchased in feeds of better
grade.
SUGGESTIONS TO FEEDEPS ~
No feeder can get the best and most economical results unless he
exercises due intelligence in purchasing his feeds. The value of a feed
depends upon that portion of the nutrients which an animal can digest,
under ordinaryconditions, and take into its system, to keep up heat and
energy, produce growth, and repair the natural waste of the body. It will
be of much value to a feeder if he will observe the following suggestions,
when buying commercial feeds.
Pead and study carefully the information given on the official tag. The
infrvrmation on the tag is sufficient to give the purchaser adequate knowledge
of the character of the feed.

METHOD OF CALCULATHVG THE ANALYSIS OF
A FEED MIXTURE .
Requests are often received for a method of calculating the analysis of a
git en feed mixture. Examples are given of two classes of feed most common-
ly mixed by the feeder, in 1, 000-pound batches, for his stock. "
Example 1. 20-percent protein dairy feed
l 2 3 4
Percentage Hundreds of Pounds of
Ingredients of protein, pounds of protein from
or pounds each each
in 100 ingredient ingredient
150 pounds wheat bran ---—--—-- - 15 1. 5 Z2. 5
200 pounds ground shelled corn -- 9 2 18. O
150 pounds hominy meal —--—--- — 11 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 —--—--- -- ll 1 11. 0
100 pounds alfalfa meal ------- -- 14 1 14. 0
1000 pounds ------------—--- ---- 10 205.0
Then 205. O divided by 10:20. 5, the percentage of protein in this feed.
Example 2. 20—percent protein laying masu
1 2 3 4
Percentage Hundreds of Pounds of
lngredients of protein, pounds of protein from
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 11, 0
150 pounds meat scrap —----— —-—- 50 1. 5 75. 0
100 pounds alfalfa meal -------— - 14 1 14. O
100 pounds soybean oil meal--- — 41 1 41. 0
1000 pounds -—-·---—----------- - ll  
Then 213. 5 divided by l0=2l. 35, the percentage of protein in this feed.
Explanation of Method Used in Table l.
1. List the number of pounds and ingredients in column 1.
2. 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.
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. 1\/luliiply the figufe for each ingredient in column 2 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 weifvht of the mixture, in hundred pounds.
6. Add column 4, which gives the totalweight of protein in the mixture.
7. Divide the sum of column 4 by the suv of column 3_ This gives the per-
centage of protein in the mixture.
The percentages of other substances such as fat or fiber can be calculated in
a similar way.

·UREA
I For the past few years the use of urealin dairy feeds has been growing
and i1‘suse in l952 was much greater than any previous year.
This was due to the low price per unit of protein equivalent in urea and
in some cases the shortage of high pr-otein meals.
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 thatwill withstand high temper-
atures.
Urea contains 46. 5% nitrogen, which is equivalent to 291% protein. The V
commercial product "262" Feed Compound, is urea which has been diluted
with other materials to prevent caking, and contains 42% nitrogen which is
equivalentto262% protein. The addition of l percent of this material Y0 a
dairy feed is equivalent to adding 2. 62% protein. Besides urea's protein
equivalent value, one must also consider its lack of energy value as com-
pared to the commpmliieii virotein feeds. An example of this, if the nitrogen
in urea is used as.eificiei:t·, as the nitrogen in high protein feeds, it will
require approximately 14 pounds of urea, plus 100 pounds of grain to
replace 100 pounds of soybean oilmeal.
Urea, when used as ar ivoredient in feeds sold in Kentucky is shown
in the ingredient liston the official Kentucky tag as follows; " 0],,
Urea ( % equivalent protein from non—protein)nitrogen. One
· percent of "262" appears as 9% Urea (2. 62% equivalent protein from non-
protein nitrogen). "
Cattle, sheep, and goats are able to convert urea to a usable form
through the action of micro—organisms in the rumen. The organisms con-
vert 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 areunable 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
1/3 of the total protein. lf a feed contains more than 3 percent of urea, the
label shall bear a stateinent of 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 conditions of purchase and use.
WARNING: This feed should be used only in accordance with directions
furnished on the label.

- MEDICATED FEEDS
In the last few years, it has been found that a small amount of certain
drugs in a_ poultry feed would aid in the prevention of some diseases. Growth
stimulation also results from the use of some drugs.
Drugs available for use in poultry mashes include:
Sulfaquinoxaline
Nitrophenide
Z—Amiuo—5—Nitrothiazole
Z-Nitro—4·4l·lydroxypheny1arsonic Acid
Nitrofurazone -
Sulfamethazine
Sulfamilamide ‘
Arsanilic Acid
4-Nitrophenylarsonic Acid °
Para—Aminobenzoic Acid
These drugs are mixed in mashes in very small amounts and fed continously
as a preventative. lf there is a disease in the flock a mash can be used with a
larger percentage of drug. This is fed for two, three, or five days and then
discontinued. lf medicated feeds are used the instructions attached to the feed
should be followed.
Kentucky requires the registration of these feeds and the drug is listed
in the brand name, as, for example, “ Nitrophenide in Z0 % Starting Mash,"
and in the list of ingredients as O. 015% Nitrophenide

 Quarterly Report on Feed Samples
POISON IN FEEDS
Each year a number of samples of feed are sent in for analysis, suggesting
that the feed may contain poisoy, This is done because some poultry or stock
have gotten sick or died and the feed is suspected. Analysis of these samples
seldom shows that the feed in question contains a poisonous substance.
If animals are sick or die a veterinarian should be called and if a disease `
is present treatment should be started as soon as possible. If the veterinarian
observes symptoms that indicate poison, then a sample of the feed should be
sent in-for analysis, with all pertinent information. _
Suggesticr ·— that farmers should observe around the farm to eliminate
poisoning of stock:
Silage should be inspected carefully before feeding to see if it is moldy.
Feed that is old and moldy should never be fed.
Lead poisoning is caused by watering stock in paint buckets or letting
them drink from a lead—lined receptacle. Stock may get lead in sufficient
amounts to poison them or at least make them sick from licking paint from
boards or machinery.
A very common material around the farrn is fertilizer. Care should
be taken to keep fertilizer labeled so that it will not be mistaken for salt in `
feeding stock. Ernpty fertilizer bags should not be left where stock can get
_ to them. The most poisonous fertilizers are nitrate of soda, ammonium
nitrate, sulfate of ammonia, and urea. _
Other poisonous materials used on the farm include insecticides. They
should be kept in a separate place so they will not accidentally be dropped into
feed, a·1d the bags containing them should be burned or buried.
