Reading a Date Code on a Horse Feed Bag

Wondering how to read the date of manufacture on your horse feed bag? Here's how to decode it! 📅
Feed manufacturers use two main methods to display the date code, which is a required element on every bag. Understanding these codes ensures you know how fresh your feed is:
1. Standard Date Format: Look for a date on the feed tag like "07 June 24," which means June 7, 2024. This method is straightforward.
2. Julian Date Code: Used by brands like Purina, this method can be trickier. For example, "24166" means the feed was made on the 166th day of 2024. Simply Google "Julian date code calendar" to find out which day of the year it corresponds to.
