Meal Inspection Procedures

Meal inspection procedures follow the same general protocol as for grains. After a truck has weighed-in, but before unloading, obtain a minimum of five (5) samples by spearing front, middle and back of the truck (or pallet if in bags). Be certain that the spear touches the bottom of truck bed. Mix samples into a bucket and obtain a sub-sample for moisture determination as described below. Compare the results against the Meal Receiving Standards. Reject the load if it is not to standard. Record the results on the Ingredient Receival Record Meals and Other Feedstuffs.
