Feed & Fertilizer Laboratory
Feed samples are collected by ISDA inspectors and analyzed for label claims such as guarantees for protein, minerals, vitamins and drugs. Selected samples are tested for mycotoxins (poisonous compounds produced by certain molds or for heavy metals). Some are examined by microscope to verify that the ingredients on the label match those actually used. Products found to be misbranded or adulterated may be subject to a Stop-Sale order. Fertilizer samples are collected similarly and analyzed for the guaranteed nutrients. Samples found to be deficient are subject to fines based on the cost of the ingredient(s). The Feed and Fertilizer lab also screens certain products for heavy metals.
