A. The Commissioner may enter and inspect any factory, warehouse, or
establishment within the Commonwealth during operating hours in which commercial
feed is manufactured, processed, packed, warehoused, sold, or held for
distribution, or any vehicle used to transport or hold such feed, to determine
whether the provisions of this chapter have been complied with, including
whether or not any operations may be subject to such provisions. The inspection
shall include the verification of only such records and production and control
procedures, pertinent equipment, finished material, unfinished material, any
container, and labeling therein as may be necessary to determine compliance with
this chapter.

B. The Commissioner may obtain samples from any premises during operating hours
or any vehicle enumerated in subsection A, and examine records relating to
distribution of commercial feeds.

C. When the inspection and analysis of an official sample indicates a commercial
feed has been adulterated, misbranded, or is otherwise deficient under the
provisions of this chapter, the Commissioner shall, upon request, furnish to the
licensee a portion of the sample concerned within 30 days following the receipt
of such analysis by the licensee.

D. The Commissioner, in determining for administrative purposes whether a
commercial feed is deficient in any component, shall be guided by the official
sample. Such official sample shall be obtained and analyzed as provided in
&#xA7; 3.2-4801.

E. The Commissioner shall allocate adequate personnel to the major farm feed
consuming areas of the state to carry out his duties under this act as such
duties relate to insuring the quality, analysis, and quantity of feed sold and
distributed in the Commonwealth.
