 Quarterly Report on Feed Samples, 1957 3
I COM ERCIAL FEED IN KENTUCKY, 1957
The estimated tonnage of commercial feeds consumed in Kentucky
during 1957 was 572,957 tons. This was 18,964 tons less than was
consumed in 1956.
Estimated tonnage of feed sold in Kentucky beginning with 1940,
was as follows:
` 1940 . . . 353,138 1949 . . . 607,255
_ 1941 . . . 347,055 1950 . . . 584,441

1948 . . . 634,000 1957 . . . 572,957
A summary of estimated sales by class of feed is given on page 4.
In 1957, inspectors collected 3,193 samples of feed. Out of these
, samples 2,343 equaled guarantee or were within tolerance; 1,492 equaled
guarantee in every respect; 275 were below guarantee in protein; 145
below guarantee in fat; 126 above guarantee in fiber; 206 adulterated;
180 misbranded; 69 above guarantee in urea; 27 below guarantee in
calcium; 8 below guarantee in phosphorus.
‘ The record of samples correctly labeled in 1957 was 73%. This was
5% less than the record for 1956.
The percentage of feed samples meeting the guarantee since 1948 is
listed below:
I 1948 . . . 56% 1953 . . . 77%

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
Ingredients of protein, pounds of protein from
or pounds each each V
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 ll 1 11.0
100 pounds alfalfa meal 14 1 14.0
1000 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
Ingredients 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 11 1 11.0
150 pounds meat scraps 50 1.5 75.0
100 pounds alfalfa meal 14 1 14.0
100 pounds 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.
l. List the number of pounds and ingredients in column l.
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. Multiply the figure 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 hun-
dred pounds of each ingredient, to get the total pounds of pro-
tein furnished by each ingredient.
A 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 similar way.

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 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 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_the 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 aa
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 ingredient list.
A recent sample of 16% Dairy Feed vas 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 within the fiber guarantee. By microscopic analysis, it was
found to be adulterated 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 chem-
ical 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 is as represented. To the manufacturer, it offers pro-
tection against unfair and unscrupulous competition.

 Quarterly Report on Feed Samples, l957 ll
UREA
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
temperature.
Urea contains 46.5% nitrogen, which is equivalent to 29l% protein}
The commercial product "262" Feed Compound, is urea which has been diluted
with other materials to prevent caking, and contains 62% nitrogen which is .
equivalent to 262% protein. The addition of l percent of this material to
a dairy feed is equivalent to adding 2.62% protein. Besides urea's pro-
tein 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 io high protein
feeds, it will require approximately lh 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 percent 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 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 are unable to
f utilize urea.
I 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 l/3 of the total protein. lf a feed contains more than 3 percent of
urea, the label shall bear a statement of proper usage and the following
in type of such couspicnousness as to render it likely to be read and
understood by ordinary individuals under customary conditions of pur-
chase and use.
. WARNING: This feed should be used only in accordance with
directions furnished on the label.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREPARATION OF
LABELS FOR FEEDS WHICH CONTAIN DRUGS
The following information is intended for use as a guide in pre-
paring labels for new products and in revising labels for present products
when necessary. It is suggested that typed copy of proposed labeling be
submitted to State and Federal officials for comment before the copy is
submitted to the printer.
Types of Labels
Labels for medicated complete feeds generally fall into h different
types, as follows: `
Type 1 is for a feed which contains drug(s) for growth promotion and/or
disease prevention, and which is to be fed continuously for an indefinite
period. The product name is followed by the word "medicated" in letters at
least half as tall as those of the product name. This type of label can be
used for any drug-containing feed not included among the other types.
Exempted from medicated labeling are feeds which contain non—therapeutic
levels of antibiotics (those with less than 50 grams per ton usually
qualify), since these are not classed as medicated feeds.
Type 2 is for a feed which contains drug(s) at the treatment level,
to be fed as the sole ration for a limited period of time. The word
"medicated" appears in the forepart of the product name, in letters of
same size as remainder of product name. _
Type 3 is for a feed which contains hormone(s) or hormone-like sub-
stances (e.g., diethylstilbestrol).
Type 4 is for a feed which contains drug(s) at the treatment level
for a specific disease or condition. It differs from Type 2 only in that
the product name indicates the purpose of the drug and the word "medicated"
thus need not be a part of the product name (e.g., "Pig Wormer").
Supplements or premixes which contain drugs and which are to be diluted Q
by mixing with other feeds before use are also covered by these four types
of labels. The type of label to be used in each case will depend upon the
purpose of the drug and directions for use of the finished feed after such
dilution. If the resulting feed when diluted according to directions will
contain non-therapeutic levels and no therapeutic claims are made, Type 1
label will be used. If the directions given are such that Type 2 as well
as Type l can apply, then the Type 2 label must be used. Complete direc-
tions for feeding are to be included in labeling any feed which may be
sold to the feeder either in the original package or in custom-mixed feeds.
Information Required on the Label
Drug—containing feeds are required to carry certain information in _
their labeling. The requirements are essentially the same for all four
types. It is suggested that the label carry this information in the
following form:
l. Net weight.
2. Brand name or trade name.
3. Product name (may include brand name and, for
Types l and 2, the word "medicated").
Q. Purpose (statement of the purpose of the medication
and reference to directions for use).
5. Active drug ingredients (list of common names, not
trade names, and PQFCEHKHBB present, for each drug.
Antibiotics are to be expressed in grams per pound
and may also be in grams per ton).
6. Guaranteed analysis of the feed.
7. Feed ingredients (common name of each). •
8. Name and address of manufacturer or registrant.
9. Detailed feeding directions (to be displayed
prominently on either front or reverse side of the
label). A check list follows:

 _ Quarterly Report on Feed Samples, l957 13
a. Purpose (if necessary to clarify or amplify
the above statement
b. when to feed (specific period necessary for
effective use).
c. How to feed, or mix for feeding (feeding
method to be followed, i.e., free choice, sole
4 ration, intermittent feeding, etc.; mixing
directions for premixes, etc., should give
proper level of medication for purpose intended).
d. Precautions (statement of precautions where
, misuse of the product may be injurious to
animals or man).
e. Warning statement (a withdraval period may
be required for safety. Witn a mixture of
drugs, use tne longest period).
f. Otner feeds (reference may oe made to otner .
feeds wnicn have a part in a feeding program
for tne animal)
