🚨 PROHIBITED MAMMALIAN PROTEIN PRODUCTS

Load Declaration Notice

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established regulations 21 CFR 589.2000 and 21 CFR 589.2001 to help prevent the spread of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). These rules restrict certain mammalian protein products from being introduced into the diets of ruminant animals. The delivery of grain/ingredients will not be accepted if the previous load contained a prohibited protein product, unless a washout is certified by signature or receipt.  This must be recorded at the facility office.
