  1. Feed Tags By: Steve Massie MS, PAS Renaissance Nutrition

  2. It’s the Law • Every feed must have a tag • Custom tags can be VERY generic: • Whose, feeding directions if medicated & level • Who made it (with address). • Feeds sold to more than one customer: • Follows FDA guidelines for tags • Follow the state of manufacturing guidelines • US Gov prints a book that lists rules.

  3. What Can a Feed Tag tell Us • If you know the FDA rules: • You can reverse engineer the feed • If the tag is very detailed. • Come close if it is somewhat detailed. • Get in the ballpark if it is generic labeled.

  4. Brand Name • Must have Species name in Title. • Must indicate if it is Medicated. • Name must be one-of-a-kind in State of manufacturing • Name can not violate trademarked names. • Must have a FDA “Purpose Line”

  5. Medicated • Must have medication type, level and FDA claim listed on feed tag. • Have to use chemical name. • Lasolasid = Bovatec • Must have use level. Grams/ton • Feed Compendium gives FDA claims and it is updated monthly. • Feeding rate must be included so producer knows drug level on a /hd/day basis.

  6. Guaranteed Analysis • Different Species have different rules on what they have to list. • Dairy: Crude Protein, NPN, Crude Fat, Crude Fiber, ADF, Ca, P, Salt, Se, Vit A. • Some require Min’s, some Max’s, some both Min’s and Max’s. • Different Nutrients have Different Units • %, ppm (mg/kg), IU/lb

  7. Crude Protein & NPN • If the feed has a NPN source in it: • Urea, Ammonium Chloride, Mono Phos • Must be listed as how much of the NPN makes-up the Crude Protein. • We can reverse calculate the amount in the feed if we know what the source is: • For Example: 35% CP w/ 11% NPN & Urea. • Then .11/2.81X2000 = 78.3 lbs of Urea/ton.

  8. Ingredient Section • FDA rules to remember: • Ingredients have to be listed highest to lowest inclusion rate in the feed (1st 5 for sure) • Majority of the feed is the first ingredient. • Corn in Complete feeds • SBM in Supplements • Ca Carb/Limestone in Mineral Mixes If it is detailed tag, very easy to reverse

  9. However……… • Most feed tags are not detailed but use the FDA rules (Collective Terms) to help: • Hide their true ingredients. • Allow feedmills to least cost mixes w/o changing feed tags constantly. • Helps protect patents. • Helps to hide the nutrition in the mix.

  10. Collective Terms • Grain Products- Corn, Oats, Wheat • Forage Products- Alf Meal • Plant Protein Products- SBM, Canola, Rst Beans, Linseed, Cottonseed Meal, Sunflower meal, SoyPlus. • Processed Grain By-Products – Distillers, CGF, CGM, Midds, Hominy. • Animal Proteins- M&B, Blood, Fish, Milk. • Roughage Products -Citrus pulp, Soyhulls

  11. Thumb Rules for Reverse Engineering • High Protein needs high pro ingredients: • Urea, Blood, CGM, M&B, SBM • High ADF needs high ADF feeds: • Cottonseed and Soybean Hulls, CGF, • High Fat needs high fat feeds: • Tallow, AV Blend, Megalac, RSB, WCS • Watch for common feeding rates: • Bicarb 0.33 lbs, Salt 0.20 lbs, Se = 0.3 ppm, Watch common additives and their feed rates. • Figure ratios: • ROT: Cu =1, Zn = 4x, Mn = 2x, Co = .05, I = .1

  12. Use Line • If Medicated: • How much to feed to meet FDA guidelines. • Can calculate how much drug /hd/day.

  13. Tag Line • Who’s it for: • Manufactured By: they made it. • Manufactured For: someone else made it. • When the tag was update last. • Address of who it is for. • Weight in the mix: • Watch 50 lb bags vs. 25 Kg bags (55.1 lbs) • Some 40 lb bags (horse, sheep, pet food)
