§1393. Registration and labeling
A. No person shall manufacture a commercial or customer-formula feed for
distribution in this state unless the person has registered with the commission by filing on
forms provided by the commissioner his name, the state of incorporation if incorporated, the
location of his principal place of business, and the location of each manufacturing facility in
this state when such facilities are so located. Registration shall be renewed annually on July
first. Renewal of registration may be denied by the commissioner for cause. A distributor or
guarantor may apply to the commission for registration as a manufacturer and for authority
to label feeds for sale in this state. All provisions applicable to a manufacturer shall then
apply to the distributor or guarantor.
B. Registration shall authorize the registrant to distribute in this state any commercial
feed for which a label has been approved by the commissioner.
C. No person registering with the commission shall manufacture for distribution in
this state or distribute a commercial feed which has not been approved as to labeling pursuant
to the provisions of R.S. 3:1394 and such additional regulations of the commission as may
be adopted from time to time.
D. Approved labeling shall authorize a registrant to manufacture, sell, or offer for
sale in this state a particular commercial feed.
E. The commissioner may refuse approval of the label of any commercial feed not
in compliance with the provisions of this Part and may revoke approval of any registration
or approval of any label when a commercial feed is found not to be in compliance with any
provision of this Part. No registration or label shall be revoked or canceled unless the
registrant shall have been given an opportunity to be heard before the commission and to
amend his application or label in order to comply with the requirements of this Part.
