such feeds are in compliance with the provisions of this Sub-title.
The State Chemist individually or through his agent, is authorized
to enter upon any public or private premises including any vehicle
of transport during regular business hours in order to have access
to commercial feeds and to records relating to their distribution.

the State Chemist from sources such as the Journal of the Associa-
tion of Official Agricultural Chemists, or such methods as will insure
representative sampling and accurate examination.

c.  The State Chemist in determining for administrative purposes
whether a commercial feed is deficient in any component, shall be
guided solely by the official sample as defined in sub-section (k) of
Section 125 and obtained and analyzed as provided for in sub-section
(b) of this section.

d.  When the inspection and analysis of an official sample indicates
a commercial feed has been adulterated or misbranded, the results
of analysis shall be forwarded by the State Chemist to the distributor
and the purchaser. Upon request within thirty days, the State Chemist
shall furnish to the distributor a portion of the sample concerned.
