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 hyphen. The two digits after the hyphen represent the year it was made.

You can use a Julian Day Calendar (see below; these can easily be found by typing “Julian Day Calendar” into Google!) to determine the day of the year it was made.

Let’s use Lot # 25263222-20 as an example: We know the feed was made on the 222th day of 2020. Using the Julian-Day calendar below, the 222nd day takes us to the 9th of August 2020.
