 COMMERCIAL FEEDS IN KENTUCKY, 1950
The mixed feed business in Kentucky during 1950 was very
I good. Tonnage was a little less than in 1949, but the quality of feeds
showed continued improvement. Of all the samples analyzed 70. 3%
met their guarantee or came within the tolerance of . 5% of chemical
guarantee. This compared with 68% in 1949.
It is the plan to lend further encouragement to companies in
lifting this percentage still further. It can be done with greater care
in manufacturing and mixing.
' In 1950, inspectors made 9, 804 calls on feed dealers and
collected 3, 607 samples of feed. In 1949, 3, 359 samples were
collected.
The estimated tonnage of commercial feeds consumed in
Kentucky during 1950, based on the sale of guaranty tags, was
584, 441 tons. This was 22, 814 less than in 1949.
Tonnage of feed sold in Kentucky, as estimated from the
number of tags issued by calendar years, beginning with 1940, is
as follows:
1940 -———-----——- 356, 138
1941 -—--—-—---—— 350, 000

1948 ———-——---——— 634, OOO
1949 --—--—------ 607, 255
1950 -——--—-——--- 584, 441
Of the tonnage for 1950, 139, 821 tons were dairy feed; 58, 994
tons, hog feed; 13, 920 tons, horse and mule feed; 142, 987 tons, poultry
feed; 13, 230 tons, turkey feed; 28,084 tons, scratch feed; 4, 587 tons,
·- rabbit feed; 560 tons, sheep feed; 4,246 tons, calf feed; 10, 540 tons,
stock feed; 10, 326 tons, dog and cat feed; 290 tons, goat feed; 5,077
tons, mineral feed; 136, 426 tons, straight products and by-products;
and 9, 813 tons, miscellaneous.

 COMMERCIAL FEEDS, 1950
. PURPOSE OF FEED LAW
Laws have as their basic principles right and justice, protection and
service, and if properly administered are great educators. Successful ad-
ministration depends largely upon the cooperation of those whose interests
they affect. The active interest and degree of cooperation of those so affect-
ed depend also on adequate knowledge of the provisions of the law and the
r ends to be attained in its proper operation. The operation of a law, there-
fore, should not only properly regulate or control, but should be educative
as well. In the administration of the feedstuffs 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 up-
wards 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, understand the significance of the feedstuffs law and its op-
eration, 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 Departxnent of the Kentucky Agricultural
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 of-
fered for sale in the State. Before an application for registration is accepted, I
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 materi-
als 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 concen-
trates. 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.
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 of-
fender and the registration is subject to cancellation.

 REGULATORY BULLETIN NO. 88
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 information as the character of the
feed. The purchaser should read carefully that part of the printed matter which tells
what materials are contained 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 wthe importance of reading and studying the information given on the offi-
` cial 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 Department 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; cotton-
seed 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 hulls; screenings; screen-
ings waste or refuse; or other material containing an excessive percentage of fiber.
lf a feeder wants to buy a trashy feed, it is his 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 FEEDERS
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 ordinary conditions, 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 sug-
gestions, when buying commercial feeds:
Read and study carefully the information given on the official tag. The information
on the tag is sufficient to give the purchaser adequate knowledge of the character of
the feed.
6

 COMMERCIAL FEEDS, 1950
A feeder should see what ingredients are used and that the feed
contains ingredients easy to digest and high in energy.
The following are usually considered High Grade Feed
ingredients:
Rich in feed value but low in protein:
— All the Grains
Hominy Feed
Corn Feed Meal
Rich in feed value and high in protein:
Linseed Meal
Cottonseed Meal
Soybean Oil Meal
Corn Gluten Feed
Distillers Dried Grains
The following ingredients usually result in Low Grade Feeds:
Screenings Refuse & most ground Screenings
Oat Hulls
Oat Mill Feed
Flaxseed Screenings Oil Feed l
Ground Corn Cob
Soybean Mill Feed ·
Ground Hay (unless needed as source of vitamins).
These feeds are hard to digest and will not produce as well as
feeds manufactured from high grade ingredients. Such feeds carry a
yellow tag in Kentucky.
7

 REGULATORY BULLETIN NO. 88
Buy no feed that is not registered and tagged with a Kentucky
official tag. If the feed is not labeled with a Kentucky tag, it is being
sold in violation of the law. Besides, the purchaser has no way of
` knowing what is in the feed.
Learn the reputation of feed manufacturers. Pick the ones
making quality feeds.
How can this be done? Study the tag on the bag. Also study
Feed Bulletins published by the Feed Department, Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station, Lexington, Kentucky. I
Bulletins published every three months give the analyses of
feed sampled. A farmer can study these results and see which
manufacturers are exercising the greatest care in labeling. A
manufacturer who sees to it that the label accurately represents the
product is likely to be just as careful in seeing that these products
are carefully formulated and manufactured to do a good job in the
chicken house or feedlot.
