USDA Amends Dairy Products
Inspection and Grading Rules
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture is changing
regulations of its voluntary in
spection and grading program
for dairy products to limit ap
peals for reinspection or
regrading of products to limit
appeals for reinspection or
regrading of products found to be
contaminated by filthy, putrid or
decomposed material.
Under the dairy products in
spection and grading program,
any interested party who
disagrees with the original in
spection or grading of a product
may appeal the findings. When a
product is found to be con
taminated, such an appeal will
Wheat Exports
The Export Marketing Service,
U S. Department of Agriculture,
has been asked whether any
wheat has been exported at the
zero export payment rate in
effect since Sept. 22, 1972.
Thus far, 926,976 bushels have
been so exported. This brings the
total amount of wheat exported
or under contract to be exported
commercially since the begin
ning of the 1972-73 marketing
year to 958,617,340 bushels.
Unlike export payment con
tracts, or “bookings,” exporters
may either book at the zero rate
merelv report the export. In
either case, it is usually done at
time of shipment.

There has been quite a lot of talk about methionine
hydroxy analogue lately, as an addative to dairy feeds.
Some claim increased milk production, some say it
helps fat test There is other benefits too, so I hear.
Well digging through my files I came upon a paper
out of the University of Illinois about the subject I’ll
share some of it with you. “It must be kept in mind that
these implications are based on a very few ob
servations and have not been substantiated in other
controlled experiments” “However in this study, the
groups of cows were not balanced for milk production
prior to the start of the experiment, which makes it
difficult if not impossible to establish the effect of
feeding MHA on milk production ” “The results showed
no beneficial effects of methionine feeding on milk
produciton or protein content of the milk”
The rest of the report is available on request

now be limited to a review of the
sampling procedures and a
reinspection of the official
sample. Such appeals are being
limited because the con
taminants may not be evenly
distributed throughout a product.
Thus, reinspection using a dif
ferent sample, as may be done in
other appeals, might in this case
result in inaccurate findings.
Changes are also being made to
update some wording in present
regulations to reflect current
inspection and grading practices
and organizational structure.
The amendments to the
regulations were proposed June
5, 1972 (USDA Press Release
Payment Rate
The total of zero payment
exports is useful only because it
confirms a somewhat larger total
of commercial exports than is
revealed by export payment
bookings alone. It is not con
clusive as to commercial sales
activity at the zero rate, since
wheat may have been sold for
export since Sept. 22 but not yet
shipped. _
The Export Marketing Service
will make further an
nouncements of zero payment
registration or exports as
significant changes occur in the
total.

1969-72) and details were
published in the Federal Register
June 8, 1972. As a result of
comments received, a change
was made in the description of
the type of contamination which,
when found, would limit
appeals from the original fin
dings. The description had read:
“ ... to be contaminated with
filth or to contain a deleterious
substance.” It will now read:
‘‘contaminated with filthy,
putrid, or decomposed
material.”
The dairy products inspection
and grading program is ad
ministered by the Dairy Division
of USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service, and is
provided on a fee-for-service
basis.
The amendment to the
regulations will become effective
upon publication in the Federal
Register, scheduled for October
19. Copies are available from the
