INSPECTION OF FEED PRODUCTS AND PET FOODS

Chemical analyses of 576 official samples of feed products and pet foods
collected during 1984 by inspectors of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture
are presented in this Bulletin. Two-hundred forty-two are for farm animals and
334 are pet foods, mainly for cats and dogs, but food for caged birds and fish
is also included.

Table 1 shows individual samples for 82 manufacturers. In the Table the
percentage guarantee for each product for protein, fat, fiber, and in some cases
ash is shown. For example, the numbers 11-6-1-4 indicate that a minimum of 11$
protein, a minimum of 6% fat, a maximum of 1$ fiber, and a maximum of 4$ ash is
guaranteed. The product name follows. The analyses are then shown with
deficiencies in protein and fat and excesses in fiber and ash preceded by an
asterisk (•).

A summary is provided in Table 2 indicating the number of samples from each
manufacturer and the number of guarantees for ash. The number of guarantees for
protein, fat, and fiber is the same as the number of samples. Next is shown the
percentage not meeting the guarantee for each nutrient, followed by the average
percentage of guarantee for each nutrient.

Two types of variability affect feed and pet food analysis and must be
considered in judging deficiencies. The first is the variability among different
batches of the same product. This variability can be noted by examination of
results of analyses on the same product from the same manufacturer. The second
type of variability is among duplicate analyses of the same sample. This
variability is shown by the statement: the mean difference between duplicates
for protein is about a half percent, for fat about one-fourth percent, and for
fiber and ash about two-tenths percent.

Feed and pet food samples are deemed deficient in protein and fat and
excessive in fiber and ash if the analysis is not within permitted variations
recommended by the Association of American Feed Control Officials. For all
samples tested only 2.6$ were deficient in protein, 3.0$ deficient in fat, 0.5$
excesssive in fiber, and 0.7$ excessive in ash.

Analyses were performed by H. Kocaba, M. Pyles, M.A. Illig, and E. Hickson.
Samples were collected by J. Dippel, A. VanDyke, and D. Nisely. Feed laws are
administered by the Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture.
