Understanding the Date Code on Feed Bags

Determining the Date Rabbit Pellets were Milled

I use Blue Seal feed. The code on each bag tells me when my feed was milled. It’s a simple code. The first three names indicate the day of the year and the last digit indicates the year. A1005 means that it was made on the 100th day of 2005. Here’s a chart to tell you what day each number stands for.
