Section 3 - Feedstuffs, Feed Additives and Medications


 
 

1) Producer maintains a record of any pesticide or herbicide use that could cause a violative residue in grazing cattle or feedlot cattle.  A record of storage should be maintained for reference. 

2) Only FDA approved medicated feed additives will be used in rations.

3) All medicated feed additives will be used in accordance with the FDA approved label.  Extra-label use of feed additives is strictly prohibited.

4) Operator will document that all additives are withdrawn at the proper time to avoid violative residues.

5) If the beef operation formulates medicated rations, a formula record of all medicated feed rations produced will be kept.  Production records of all batches of feed produced which contain medicated feed additives, including date run, ration name or number, amount produced, and lots receiving the feed will be recorded.

6)  Keep all records for not less than two years from the date of transfer or sale of the cattle.

7)  No ruminant-derived protein sources can be fed.  This includes meat and bone meal.  Other ruminant-derived products such as blood by-products and tallow can be used consistent with FDA regulations.

8)  The same facility and equipment will not be used to manufacture, store or transport both non-packaged ruminant livestock feed and feeds containing prohibited animal proteins. Storage may occur in the same facility if a wall separates prohibited and non-prohibited products.

  • Pet foods often contain prohibited animal proteins and should be fed and stored in areas ruminants don't have access to. This will be done to remain in compliance with South Dakota Rules regarding prohibited animal proteins.
