BAG CLEANINGS 



Since used feed bags are cleaned before undergoing a sterilization process, a 

 considerable amount of feed as bag cleanings is produced at the cleaning plants. 

 The Control Service has analyzed many samples of bag cleanings either for pros- 

 pective users or sellers of this product. 



If the cleanings are from burlap bags, they contain a large amount of burlap 

 fiber which must be screened out before the feed is used. Usually the cleaned feed 

 contains about 14 percent protein, 4 percent fat, 4 percent fiber, and 9 percent ash. 



Because of the possibility of disease transmittance, it is strongly recommended 

 that bag cleanings should not be fed to poultry. This possibility exists also, al- 

 though to a much less extent, in cattle and swine feeding. 



Furthermore, bags that had contained ingredients toxic to livestock may be 

 mixed in with feed bags. It is unlikely that each bag is inspected carefully at the 

 bag cleaning plant to make sure that it had contained no toxic material. Generally 

 the dilution factor probably would take care of the inclusion of small amounts of 

 poisonous material, but this may not be true in unusual cases. 



Recently the Control Service found 18 parts per million of lead and 5 parts 

 per million of arsenic in a sample of bag cleanings sent in by a farmer. Therefore, 

 the purchaser of bag cleanings should understand the hazards involved in feeding 

 this product, and the seller should realize his responsibility if the product causes 

 death of livestock. Under certain circumstances such cheap feed may prove to be 

 very expensive for both the user and the seller.
