WAC 16-250-005   Commercial feed regulated by this chapter.  (1) Commercial feed for beef cattle, dairy cattle, equine, goats and sheep, chickens and turkeys, ducks and geese, fish, rabbits, swine, and other animals not specifically regulated under chapter 16-252 WAC are regulated by this chapter.

     (2) Chapter 16-252 WAC (Commercial feed rules: Pet food and specialty pet food) regulates pet food and specialty pet food except for customer-formula food.

     (a) Where a conflict occurs between the provisions of chapter 16-252 WAC and those of this chapter, the regulations in chapter 16-252 WAC take precedence.

     (b) Where a commercial pet food and/or specialty pet food issue arises on which chapter 16-252 WAC is silent and a provision in this chapter addresses the issue, then this chapter must be followed. The department expects such situations will be rare.

Note: Processed animal waste as a commercial feed is regulated under chapter 16-256 WAC.
