ODA EXPRESSES REGULATORY CONCERNS

The Ohio Department of Agriculture Feed and Fertilizer Section has asked us to make members in the feed industry aware of their concerns with feed issues, as determined during routine inspections:

• Handling of meat and bone meal to prevent BSE contamination.
  
• Illegal medications rates and combinations
  
• Mixer cleanout, or sequencing and lack of records to verify
  
• Incomplete or improper labeling
  
• General housekeeping

Make sure to take time to review your feed operations to assure you are following all the proper procedures to manufacture a high quality, safe feed product.
