Com nercial Feeds in Kentucky 3
COMMERCIAL FEEDS IN KENTUCKY, 1953
` The estimated tonnage of commercial feeds consumed in Kentucky during 1953,
based on sale of guaranty tags, was 662,267 tons, for which farmers paid an estimated
$60, 000,000, This was 13,467 tons more than was sold in 1952, and exceeded the ton»
N nage purchased in any of the previous six years.
Tonnage of feed sold in Kentucky, as estimated from the number of tags issued by
calendar years, beginning with 1940, was as follows:
1940 ....... 356,138 1947 .,..... 582, 375
» 1941 ....... 350,000 -1948 ..... ,.634,000
1942. ....,. 426, 805 1949 ...,.1. 607, 255

1946 .,..... 647,661 1953 ...,... 662, 267
Of the tonnage for 1953, 142,669 tons were dairy feeds; 49,259 tons, hog feed:
12,991 tons, horse and mule feed; 188,164 tons, poultry feed; 19.994 tons, turkey feed;
27, 265 tons, scratch feed; 4,900 tons, rabbit feed; 2, 349 tons, sheep feed; 7,487 tons,
calf feed; 19, 558 tons, stock feed; 13, 329 tons, dog and cat feed; 609 tons, goat feed;
4, 385 tons, mineral feed; 8,037 tons, protein and mineral feed; 128,440 tons, straight
products and by—products and 21,859 tons, miscellaneous feed.
A summary of estimated sales by class of feed is given in Table 1
The record of samples correctly labeled in 1953 was 77%. This was one percent ·
under the record for 1952.
' The percentage of feed samples meeting the guarantee for each of the past six years
is summarized as follows:
1948 ....... 56%
1949 ....,.. 68%
1950 ..,.... 70%
1951 .....1. 79%
1952 ....... 78%
1953 ....... 77%
In 1953, inspectors collected 4,165 samples of feed.
The laboratory made 4883 analyses for protein, 4653 for fat, 4462 for fiber, 276 for
`~ calcium, 346 for phosphorus, 248 for salt, 798 for urea, 3765 for moisture, 360 for rsh,
68 for drugs and vitamins,
Farmers, feed dealers, and manufacturers sent in 242 samples on which 1797 analyses
were made.
ln addition to the chemical analyses, each sarriple was examined microscopically to
determine whether or not the feed Contained the guaranteed ingredients. lf ingredient;
ther than those gulranteed were found, this was noted, Also, the presence u1.1(l\ill(‘l‘.11"\l.i,
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 bythe microscopic
examination.

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 1. 20-percent protein dairy feed
1 Z 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 Z 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-· -—-----— ll 1 11.0
100 pounds alfalfa meal -----—----- 14 1 14.0
1000 pounds ---»--—------------—r 10 205. 0
Tlwn 205. 0 divided by 10 = Z0. 5, the percentage of protein in this feed.
Example 2. 20-percent protein laying mash
1 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 wheat middlings ---·-- 16 Z 32. 0
Z00 pounds ground yellow corn ---— 9 Z 18.0
100 pounds groundoats ·----—----- ll 1 11.0
150 pounds meat scrap-· »-»---— -- 50 1. 5 75.0
100 pounds alfalfi meal ---—-»---- 14 1 14. 0
100 pounds soybean oil meal --·—-- 41 1 41.0
Then 213. 5 divided by 10 :21. 35, the percentage of protein in this feed.
Explanttion of Method Used in Table 1.
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.
—1. 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, bythe 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 mlxlufé, in hundred pounds.
0. 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 per—
centige of protein in the mixture.
The percentages of other substances such as fat or fiber can be calculated in .1
similar way.

 Commercial Feeds in Kentucky 9
Feeders and Feed Manufacturers often need to know the legal weight re-
quirements for grain and seeds when sold for feeding and other purposes. _
The following is quoted from the Kentucky Revised Statutes in this con-
nection.
363. 040 (4821) Bushel, what weight constitutes. The following weights
constitute a bushel of the article named:
(1) Barley, forty·seven pounds.
(2) Bluegrass seed, fourteen pounds.
(3) Bottom onion sets, thirty-six pounds.
(4) Bran, twenty pounds.
(5) Buckwheat, fifty-six pounds.
(6) Castor beans, forty-five pounds.
(7) Clover Seed, sixty pounds.

MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF FEEDS
lt is important that the guarantee placed on a bag of feed be a true picture
of the contents of that bag.
When the Kentucky Feed Law was adopted in 1906, it was thought a chemical r_
determination of the amount of protein, fat, and fiber was adequate in judging the
accuracy of labeling a feed. Later it was shown that the source of the protein,
fat, and fiber was as important, if not more important, than the amount present.
For this reason, all official samples of feeds analyzed by the Kentucky Feed
Laboratories have, since 1918, been examined with the aid of a microscope to
determine whether the ingredient list shown was adhered to.
Theoretically it would be possible to blend chicken feathers, leather, weed
seeds, pulp wood, a little soybean oil meal or urea in the proper proportions and
make a product that would meet a chemical guarantee resembling that of a feed
but it would not be a good feed. Obviously, no one would try to make a feed this
way, but cases have been found where feeds have been cheapened by the use of
undeclared additions of such products as rice hulls, oat hulls, corn cobs, mixed ,
screenings, ground chaff and dust, weed seeds, peanut hulls, etc. In such
instances the chemical guarantee will be met with regard to protein, fat and fiber
even though the quality of the feed is quite different from that declared in the in-
gredient list.
A recent sample of 16% Dairy Feed was found to be adulterated with mixed
screenings (chaff, hulls, rachis, stems, weed seeds, etc.) although within the
chemical guarantee. Another sample of Brewers Dried Grains was within the
guarantee chemically, but found by means of microscopic analysis to contain
oat hull feed.
Another feed - an 18% Laying Mash - though slightly low in protein but well I
within the fiber guarantee. By microscopic analysis, it was found to be adulter- i
ated with oat hulls.
Kentucky was one of the pioneers in this method of analysis. Nearly all states
now use some form of microscopic analysis along with the chemical analysis., It
has proven to be as valuable to the farmer and honest manufacturers as any other
form of analysis. The farmer is assured the feed he is buying as represented.
To the manufacturer, it offers protection against unfair and unscrupulous com-
petition.
