An on-farm operation that manufactures and processes food for livestock or poultry (e.g., a feed
mill) does not remain within the definition of “farm” in 21 CFR 1.227 if the sale of that food is to
a farm under different management, even if the raw ingredients are grown on the farm that has the
feed mill. The establishment is a farm mixed-type facility and required to register. (See Question
B.1.4).
However, a farm that includes an operation that manufactures/processes and packs animal food
(e.g., mills and bags animal food) can be within the definition of “farm” in 21 CFR 1.227 as long
as all of that animal food is consumed on that farm or another farm under the same management.
Because it is a farm, it is not required to register.
