Custom Formula Feed License

Feed

Custom Formula Feed License Information

Who Needs It: Commercial feed mills, farm suppliers, or manufacturers that mix animal feed tailored specifically to a single customer's recipe, prescription, or order (e.g., custom mixtures for livestock, poultry, or specialty animals).

Core Advantage: Standard commercial animal feeds and pet foods sold publicly must be registered individually product-by-product. Under a Customer-Formula Feed License, custom mixtures are exempt from individual product registration, saving producers from registering every unique batch or recipe.

Scope Note: UDAF does not license basic retail locations that merely sell pre-packaged commercial feeds. The Customer-Formula License specifically regulates the facility or company manufacturing custom-specific mixtures. Feeds must still comply with basic Utah Commercial Feed laws and labeling rules.

Customer Formula Feed License Fee and Renewal Period

Feed license renewal period begins on November 1 and ends on December 31, annually. Your license must be renewed within the renewal period or a late fee will be automatically assessed.

Late Fees and Citations

  • If a license renewal is not submitted by December 31, a late fee will be automatically added to the renewal total.
  • If the license renewal has still not been received by March 1, a citation with an additional fee will be added to the total.
  • If the citation is not paid within two weeks of being issued, the citation will increase. If payment is not received within an additional two weeks, the citation will increase, again.
