The Division also provides field inspection, sampling and laboratory analysis of animal feed, fertilizers and liming material sold in New Jersey. These analyses, coupled with enforcement actions against producers of mislabeled or substandard products, enable the division to protect crop yields and promote animal growth. Label or registration violations found during field inspections and analyses result in those items being removed from sale and, in some cases, fines levied against manufacturers and refunds to buyers.
