DEFINITION OF FEEDING-STUFFS 



The department is frequently asked for the definition of different 

 feeding-stuffs. To meet this demand we are including here the 

 definitions of some of the most important feeding-stuffs used in 

 this state. The definitions as given are those adopted by the 

 Association of Feed Control Officials of the United States. 



1. Meal is the clean, sound, ground product of the entire 

 grain, cereal or seed which it purports to represent. 



2. Chop is a ground or chopped feed composed of one or more 

 different cereals or by-products thereof. If it bears a name descrip- 

 tive of the kind of cereals, it must be made exclusively of the entire 

 grains of those cereals. 



3. Alfalfa meal is the entire alfalfa hay ground, and does not 

 contain an admixture of ground alfalfa or other foreign materials. 



4. Blood meal is ground dried blood. 



5. Meat Scrap and Meat Meal are the ground residue from 

 animal tissues exclusive of hoof or horn. If they contain more 

 than 10 per cent of phosphoric acid (P20^) they must be desig- 

 nated Meat and Bone Scrap and Meat and Bone Meal. If they 

 bear a name descriptive of their kind, composition or origin, they 

 must correspond thereto. 



6. Corn Bran is the outer coating of the corn kernel. 



7. Corn Feed Meal is the by-product obtained in the manu- 

 facture of cracked corn, with or without aspiration products added 

 to the siftings, and is also the by-product obtained in the manufac- 

 ture of table meal from the whole grain by the non-degerminating 

 process.
