Analysis of

Agricultural Feeds
and Pet Foods
1998

BY MARY JANE INCORVIA MATTINA

During the period January 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998 the Department of
Analytical Chemistry at The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station
analyzed 154 feed samples. Nine different manufacturers were represented in
this group of samples, which included products for commercial agricultural
operations as well as pet foods. The samples were collected by Alton VanDyke
and John Schneider of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture. The analyses
were performed by Craig Musante and Mamie Pyles under the supervision of
Dr. David Stilwell.

The products were analyzed to determine that the label guarantees are in
compliance with State of Connecticut regulations. A product is found to be
"unsatisfactory" if the found value of a parameter differs from the label
guarantee using the percent analytical variation guidelines recommended by the
Association of the American Feed Control Officials. In the Tables are listed the
label guarantee for the macronutrients in the product, the results of the
proximate analysis for each sample, and results of the analyses for
micronutrients. The chemical symbols for the micronutrients are as follows:
calcium, Ca; phosphorus, P; magnesium, Mg; potassium, K; copper, Cu; zinc,
Zn; selenium, Se; sodium, Na. Values are given in percent unless otherwise
noted. A deficiency in a guaranteed ingredient is indicated by a minus (-) sign
next to the found parameter. An excess of a substance is indicated by a plus (+)
sign next to the found value. Of the 1 54 samples analyzed, 3 1 samples were
found to be deficient in one or more macronutrients (20.1%) and 37 samples
were unsatisfactory in one or more micronutrients (18.8%).

Action Employer. Persons with disabilities who require alternate means of
