Pursuant to Section 75-45-165(m) of the Act, the following set of permitted analytical variations from guaranteed values are established by the Commissioner and State Chemist as guides for determining whether a feed is adulterated within the meaning of Miss. Code Ann. Section 75-45-165(m). Based on an average if two determinations for a given guaranteed component, quality, or ingredient in the feed, a feed will be considered to be deficient, high, or low in said component, quality, or ingredient when the content as determined falls outside the limits shown in the following table from that amount claimed to be present therein.
