N. H. EXPERIMENT STATION [ Bulletin 292 



In order to secure greater uniformi-ty in the 

 labelling of feeds and in the statement of in- 

 gredients, the Association of American Feed Control 

 Officials has adopted definitions and standards. 

 The Association has also approved twenty-one Gen- 

 eral Regulations which "should be adopted by state 

 officials as far as the statutes will permit." 

 There are no conflicts in these regulations with the 

 New Hampshire Feeding Stuffs Law. All manufacturers 

 and dealers are therefore expected to conform to the 

 regulations of the Association in all matters not 

 specifically mentioned in the law. Copies of these 

 regulations and also the definitions and standards 

 may be obtained from the Secretary, Association of 

 American Feed Control Officials, College Park, 

 Maryland. 



A study of the following resolutions of the As- 

 sociation of American Feed Control Officials will 

 make clear to purchasers of feeding stuffs the 

 reasons for a change in the Uniform Label adopted 

 by the Association, omitting the word Carbohydrates. 



Resolved that it is the sense of this Associa- 

 tion that we understand the term "Nitrogen-Free 

 Extract" to cover the product indicated by the per- 

 centage obtained by subtracting from 100 per cent 

 the sum of the percentages of Ash, Moisture, Protein, 

 Fat and Fiber (adopted prior to 1923). 



Resolved that the term "carbohydrates" be in- 

 terpreted to cover the product indicated by the 

 percentages obtained by the addition of the per- 

 centages of crude fiber and nitrogen free' extract 

 (adopted prior to 1923). 



Since the term "carbohydrates" is misleading 

 and combines a maximum guarantee of crude fiber with 

 a minimum guarantee of nitrogen free extract, Be it 

 Resolved, that the use of the term "carbohydrates" 

 on the uniform registration blank and uniform tags 

 be discontinued (adopted 1935).
