Custom feed
A custom mixed feed is a formula sold to only one final
consumer. That consumer must be a feeder of animals. Custom mixed feeds are
exempt from product registration; however, the feed mill producing custom mixed
feeds must obtain a commercial feed license.
Custom feeds are typically labeled on the invoice or
delivery ticket. Bags of custom feed need to have a tag on each bag with the
required information.
Shipping documents for custom mixed feeds must include the
following information:
- Name and mailing address of the manufacturer
- Name and address of the purchaser
- Date of sale or delivery
- Custom mixed feed name and brand name, if applicable
- Product name and net quantity of each registered commercial
feed and each other ingredient used in the mixture

OAR 603-058-0130(4)
- Directions for use and precautionary statements as required
by OAR 603-058-0130(6)
- The statement: "This feed is formulated for (insert
name of final consumer). No resale to other users is allowed."

- Purpose of the medication (claim statement)
