Reading labels


The Kentucky Commercial Feed Law and Regulations follow the labeling elements listed in the AAFCO Model Bill for Pet and Specialty Pets for pet and specialty pet foods. This means that pet food labels should include a product name, intended use, a guaranteed analysis, a list of ingredients, feeding directions, calorie content, nutritional adequacy statement (for complete and balanced foods), the manufacturer name and address, and a net weight statement. False or misleading statements and inappropriate animal food claims are not allowed.
