Section 4 - Feedstuffs


 
 

RECORDING FEEDSTUFF INVENTORY

SD BQA/CMP Form 410 (Incoming Feedstuff Inventory Record) is an example form that can be utilized for recording incoming feedstuff inventory.

Tables 4-1 through 4-6 provide approved pesticides and herbicides for various crops grown for feed, together with withdrawal times and grazing requirements.

SUSPECT FEEDSTUFFS MUST BE TESTED AND APPROPRIATE ACTION TAKEN.

1)   Purchase feed from known reputable suppliers.  Ask them if they have used any pesticide or additive in or on the feed, especially during or for storage.

2)   Inspect before unloading.  It is often useful to be present when unloading starts to check the first bit of feed.  If the wagon or trailer was not completely emptied prior to filling, material from the previous load will be unloaded first.

3)   If the feedstuff appears abnormal, do not accept it.  If you decide to accept it anyway then store it in a remote location and take samples.  Consult with an appropriate person before using the feed.

4)   Maintain good records that minimally include manufacturer, lot number, and product name for purchased manufactured feeds.  For commodity feeds record commodity type (i.e. corn, hay, etc.), date received, amount received, seller and place stored or unloaded.
