				American foulbrood infection by the transfer of combs with brood or bees from
				an infected colony or yard shall be destroyed by burning.
D. If any apiary or yard of bees has 4

				colony(ies) shall be burned immediately and a stop order issued. This shall

				shall be placed under a 21-30 day quarantine, during such time no drugs will be
				allowed to be fed to the bees. If after 21-30 days an inspection shows that the

				  Registration shall expire on the last day of June of each year. An additional
				  $50 late fee will be charged for renewal registrations filed after the last day
				  of June. A late fee will not be charged on initial registrations or
				  registrations of new products filed after the last day of June.
D. If a registrant had no sales in a given
				  quarter, he must still file a tonnage report and pay a minimum tonnage fee of
				  $10 for that quarter. A registrant shall keep all records necessary to
				  accurately indicate the tonnage and kind of commercial feed sold and shall
				  permit the commissioner or his authorized representative to examine these
				  records and to verify the statement of tonnage. Tonnage reports shall be made
				  on forms supplied by the commissioner and suitable for providing the necessary
				  tonnage and statistical information. The tonnage reports and inspection fees
				  shall be due and payable on the first day of October, the first day of January,
				  the first day of April and the first day of July. If the report is not filed
				  and payment made within 30 days after the date due, a penalty of 25 percent of
				  the amount due shall be assessed against the registrant. If payment is not made
				  within 30 days after the due date, the amount of fees due, plus the penalty,
				  shall constitute a debt and become the basis of a judgment against the
				  registrant. All information as to the amount of feed sold and business
				  practices of the registrant obtained from tonnage reports or from inspection of
				  records and books shall remain confidential and shall not be revealed by the
				  commissioner or his employees to the public or to any other person.
E. The inspection fee shall be collected only
				  once on each lot of ingredients. To achieve this end, the following provisions
				  shall apply.
1. No fee shall be paid on a
				  commercial feed if a previous manufacturer has paid the fee.
2. No fee shall be paid on customer-formula
				  feeds if the inspection fee has been paid on the commercial feeds, which are
				  used as ingredients therein.
3. No
				  fee shall be paid on commercial feeds, which are used as ingredients for the
				  manufacture of registered commercial feeds. If the fee has already been paid,
				  credit shall be given for that payment.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. For the purpose
				  of assessing penalties for protein deficiencies in feeds, as provided for in
				  R.S.
				  3:1400(A)(1), the value of
				  crude protein will be updated each quarter.
B. The value of crude protein will be
				  calculated as follows.
1. The quarterly
				  average price of four protein supplements shall be used. These are 44 percent
				  soybean meal, 41 percent cottonseed meal, 50 percent meat and bone meal and 60
				  percent corn gluten meal. This average price will be determined using Memphis
				  market quotations as published in Feedstuffs (Miller Publishing Company). The
				  first week of each month of the preceding quarter will be used for calculation
				  purposes. If there is no quotation for the Memphis market on an ingredient, the
				  Kansas City price or a local source market shall be used. If a quotation is not
				  available the first week, the quotation in a subsequent week shall be
				  used.

				  pet food which is formulated as and represented to be a mineral additive

				  established by a recognized authority of animal nutrition, such as the National
				  Research Council.
C. Pursuant to
				  R.S.
				  3:1394 (A)(3), the label of pet food which is
				  formulated as and represented to be a vitamin supplement, shall include a

				  nutrient content of the pet food with levels recommended by recognized animal
				  nutrition authority, such comparison may be stated in the units of measurement
				  used by the recognized authority on animal nutrition such as the National
				  Research Council. The statement in a table of comparison of the vitamin,
				  mineral or nutrient content shall constitute a guarantee, but need not be

				  (including drugs, other special purpose additives, or non-nutritive additives)
