Dog foods and feeds for fur-bearing animals raised in captivity are not in-

 While occasional analyses are made, it is believed that guarantee requirements 

 could not be enforced without an amendment to the act. 



Analyses made at the Control Service laboratories during the year follow. 

 These are arranged this year for the first time under the name of the manu- 

 facturer rather than by type of feed. While every attempt is made to secure as 

 wide a representation as possible of feeds offered, it is not possible to sample 

 and analyze every feed registered for sale in the State.
