Stock Food

Description

Stock food is a general term for animal feed mixtures, which may include grains, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to provide balanced nutrition for livestock.

Shipping and Storage

Stock food is shipped in bags, bulk containers, or as loose pellets. Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas, away from moisture and pests. Ensure proper sealing to maintain freshness.

Risk Management

Handling stock food is low risk, but dust suppression and the use of PPE such as dust masks are advisable during bulk transfer to minimize respiratory irritation and contamination.

Dust

Dust from stock food can cause mild irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Adequate ventilation and use of PPE are recommended, especially in enclosed spaces.

Explosion Risk

Stock food dust is combustible and can form explosive mixtures with air. Minimize dust accumulation and avoid ignition sources in storage and handling areas.
