 Feed Nomenclature

• Feed names follow the

International Feed Vocabulary
• Feed names are determined by
using particular descriptors.
 International Feed Classes
• 1 = Dry Roughages
• 2 = Pasture and Range Grasses
• 3 = Silages and Haylages
• 4 = High-Energy Feeds
• 5 = Protein Supplements
• 6 = Mineral Supplements
• 7 = Vitamin Supplements
• 8 = Non-Nutritive Feed Additives
 International Feed Number
• Feeds are identified by a six digit number.
• The first number is the feed class number
