What It Is

FeedMillTag.com is an online feed tag creation tool from Cedar Rock Software LLC, designed for the feed industry to produce medicated and non-medicated feed tags. The product emphasizes initial setup based on AAFCO commercial feed labeling guidelines, and covers the language, warnings, cautions, and directions for use required for medicated feed labels under the VFD regulatory framework.

Core Features

At its core is the Feed Tag Editor, which guides users through label sections such as Name & Purpose, Guaranteed Analysis, Ingredients, Use Directions, Warnings & Cautions, and Manufacturer & Net Quantity. The system includes built-in AAFCO nutrient guarantee lists, AAFCO-approved ingredient lists, and a Type B and Type C drug approval library, and can automatically incorporate the relevant warnings and cautions for medicated feed labels. Users can also create their own nutrient guarantee and ingredient lists, duplicate template labels for customization, add product codes, lot numbers, logos, and graphics, and save or print labels as PDF or RTF files. Printing options include duplex printing, roll stock, landscape or portrait layouts, multiple labels per page, and custom fonts and margins.

Pricing and Trial

The product is subscription-based. The free trial allows users to create and download a limited number of labels, requires no credit card or further commitment, and includes a trial of medicatedfeed.com. Paid subscriptions run for 12 months and also include medicatedfeed.com, but pricing is not published on the website; users need to contact Rich Larson by phone or email.

Integrations, Collaboration, and Compliance

The tool supports importing mixes from various formulation platforms/programs, and mixes can also be created through the Formulation module, though specific integration platforms are not listed. At the team level, the agreement allows customer employees to access the service as users, and mentions two authorized users for medicatedfeed.com, but does not disclose capabilities such as role-based permissions, approval workflows, or audit logs. On compliance, the product is designed around AAFCO, VFD, and FSMA use cases, but its terms clearly state that the website is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional judgment or regulatory compliance; ultimate responsibility remains with the customer.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are its deep industry focus, detailed label structure, specialized support for medicated feed content, and practical export and printing capabilities. Its drawbacks include non-transparent pricing, a relatively manual purchasing process, and a lack of information about API access, SSO, security certifications, or self-hosting. It is best suited to U.S. feed mills, feed formulation teams, and labeling compliance staff, and is less suitable for companies that need general-purpose label management, complex workflows, or adaptation to Chinese local regulations.

Access from China

The official website does not provide information on access from China, a Chinese interface, or RMB payments, and network reachability is unknown. Credit card payments require approval by the service provider. Chinese companies considering the tool should focus on evaluating access stability, payment convenience, and whether it complies with China’s feed labeling regulations. Domestic label management, formulation management, or enterprise compliance document systems may be worth considering as alternatives.
