Feeding dealers warned on adulterated rice hulls in Pennsylvania
Secretary Critchfield in Harrisburg sends special bulletin to all Pennsylvania feed dealers warning that rice hulls are being used to adulterate feeds. Hulls are low quality, containing woody fiber and silica, rough outer surface and sharp edges, risking digestive injury or death to livestock. Dealers must demand guaranteed protein content and a written non adulteration guarantee, or risk harm to animals and reputation. Cooperation from dealers to curb adulteration and improve feed quality is requested.
