GENERAL REGULATIONS 



Regulation 1. Definitions and Standards. The definitions and stand- 

 ards published herein are the definitions and standards of the association, 

 and these should be adopted by state officials so far as the statutes will permit. 



Regulation 2. Method of Analysis. The methods of analysis of the 

 Association of Official Agricultural Chemists of North America are adopted 

 as the official methods of analysis of this association. 



Regulation 3. Registration of Brands and Guarantees. In submitting 

 guaranties for registration the uniform registration blank (which is usually 

 supplied by each State Control Official) should be used. The guaranty, in all 

 cases, must be an exact copy of the labels on the package. 



Regulation 4. Labels required on all packages. Each package of feed 

 must bear a complete label. The label must be printed on one side of a tag at- 

 tached to the package, or upon one side of the package itself. In either case, 

 the labels must be clear and distinct, in type of sufficient size to be easily read, 

 and must conform in all cases to the uniform label adopted by the association. 

 The names of all ingredients must be printed in type of the same size. 



Regulation 5. Label Forms. The information required to be supplied 

 by labels must be given in a definite and uniform manner. 



The "sliding scale" method of expressing guaranties, e. g., "Protein 

 15-18%," etc., is prohibited. 



NOTE : Uniform types of labels for all classes of feeds have been adopted 

 by the association, but only the one for dairy feeds is included herein.
