SOUTH DAKOTA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES ANIMAL FEED & REMEDY PROGRAM

The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Animal Feed & Remedy Program operates as a state-level regulatory and oversight entity focused on the safety, labeling, and distribution of animal feed and veterinary remedies within South Dakota. Its core capabilities include enforcing state and federal standards for feed ingredient composition, contaminant limits, and therapeutic product efficacy, ensuring compliance with the AAFCO model regulations and FDA Animal Feed Safety System requirements. The program conducts inspections, sample collection and laboratory analysis, product registration reviews, and compliance enforcement actions to safeguard livestock health and public safety through the food chain. Specialization lies in state-specific regulatory interpretation, feed mill auditing, and coordination with USDA and FDA on cross-jurisdictional enforcement matters. No agency award history is available to indicate formal contracting relationships with federal entities, suggesting this entity functions primarily as a state regulatory authority rather than a federal contractor. Its operational scope is confined to intrastate oversight, with no demonstrable engagement in federal procurement or grant-funded initiatives. The primary NAICS code 926150, “Animal Control and Regulation,” reflects its role in administering state-level animal health and feed safety statutes. This places the entity within the broader public health and agricultural regulatory sector, specializing in compliance enforcement rather than service delivery or technology procurement. Its market positioning is as a sovereign state agency responsible for enforcing statutory mandates under the South Dakota Codified Laws governing animal feed and remedies. The entity is structured as a state government division (2A), with no commercial certifications or private-sector accreditations. It operates exclusively from Pierre, South Dakota, and serves as the sole regulatory authority for animal feed and remedy programs within the state. Its government market presence is limited to intrastate regulatory functions with no federal contracting footprint.
