How do I know
when my feed was made?
Our nutrition team recommends Nature’s Best Organic Feeds be used within the first six months of production if it’s a warmer time of year, and up to a year if they’re in a cool, dry place.

The Lot Numbers found printed on our bags will tell you the exact day your feed was made!
How to read lot numbers
On a small (5lb or 10lb) bag, the lot number is printed on the back of the bag near the top.
On a larger bag, it’s printed on the paper tag, which is sewn to the bag.
The day of the year it was manufactured is shown in the three digits previous to the 20 or 21, which represents the year it was made.
You can use a Julian Day Calendar (see below) to determine the day of the year it was made.
| Day | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
