The Bulletin 7 



DEFINITIONS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO MILLERS 



The Association of Feed Control Officials in cooperation with The 

 American Feed Manufacturers' Associaition has adopted definitions for 

 almost all varieties of feeding stuffs. If all manufacturers would follow 

 these definitions in naming their products, much confusion and mis- 

 understanding would be avoided. A few of these definitions of special 

 interest to millers are subjoined : 



Wheat Bran is the coarse outer coatings of the wheat berry obtained 

 in the usual commercial milling process from wheat that has been 

 cleaned and scoured. 



Shorts or Standard Middlings are the fine particles of the outer and 

 inner bran separated from bram and white middlings. 



Wheat White Middlings or White Middlings are that part of the 

 offal of wheat intermediate between shorts or standard middlings and 

 red dog. 



Shipstuff or Wheat Mixed Feed is a mixture of the products other 

 than the flour obtained from the milling of the wheat berry. 



Red Dog is a low grade wheat flour containing the finer particles of 

 bran. 



Wheat Bran with Mill Run Screenings is pure wheat bran plus the 

 screenings which were separated from the wheat used in preparing said 

 bran. 



Wheat Bran with Screenings not Exceeding Mill Run is either wheat 

 bran with the whole mill run of screenings or wheat bran with a portion 

 of the mill run of screenings, provided that such portion is not an in- 

 ferior portion thereof. 



Meal is the clean, sound, ground product of the entire grain, cereal or 

 seed which it purports to represent. 



Chop is a ground or chop feed composed of one or more different 

 cereals or by-products thereof. If it bears a name descriptive of the 

 kind of cereals, it must be maide exclusively of the entire grains of those 

 cereals. 



Screenings are the smaller imperfect grains, weed seeds and other 

 foreign material having feeding value, separated in cleaning the grain. 



Cotton-seed Feed* — All mixtures of cotton-seed meal and hulls con- 

 taining less than 33.44 per cent protein shall be branded Cotton-seed 

 Feed, or a name may be given which does not contain the word "meal" 

 or any other word that might be misleading. 



Millers are especially requested to note: • 



(1) That Shipstuff is a pure wheat product. 



(2) That Shorts and Middlings are two names for the same thing. 



(3) That when Screenings are run in with bran, middlings, shipstuff", 

 the resulting product is no longer bran, middlings, or shipstuff, and 

 should not be so designated; but is a mixture, and should be designated
