valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted from
the feed or any less valuable substance substituted for a valuable constituent.
(3) If the
composition or quality of the feed falls below or differs from the composition
or quality purported or represented on the feed labeling.
(4) If the feed
contains added hulls, screenings, refuse screenings, straw, cobs or other high
fiber material, unless the name of each material is stated on the label.
(5) If the feed
contains pesticide residues or other chemicals in excess of amounts that, by
rule, the State Department of Agriculture declares safe for feeding purposes.
In adopting rules under this subsection the department may take into
consideration the commonly permitted amounts of chemicals authorized by:
(a) The United
States and other states.
(b) Other
recognized agencies or organizations experienced in the chemical field.
(6) If the feed
contains a drug other than those permitted by rules adopted by the department.
In adopting rules under this subsection, the department shall consider the
current good manufacturing practice regulations for medicated feed premixes and
for medicated feeds established under authority of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act.
(7) If the feed
is wild bird feed and contains viable noxious weed seeds in excess of amounts
established by the department by rule. [1961 c.314 §5; 1971 c.489 §3; 2007
