Where this section sits in the code
  1. KRS Chapter 250

(1) When the director has reasonable cause to believe any lot of commercial feed is

being distributed in violation of any of the provisions of KRS 250.491 to 250.631 or

of any of the prescribed administrative regulations under KRS 250.491 to 250.631,

he may issue and enforce a written or printed "withdrawal from distribution" order,

warning the distributor not to dispose of the lot of commercial feed in any manner

until written permission is given by the director or the court. The director shall

release the lo t of commercial feed so withdrawn when the statutes and

administrative regulations have been complied with. If compliance is not obtained

within thirty (30) days, the director may begin, or upon request of the distributor or

registrant shall begin, proceedings for condemnation.

(2) Any lot of commercial feed not in compliance with statutes and administrative

regulations shall be subject to seizure on complaint of the director to a court of

competent jurisdiction in the area in which the feed is located. In the event the court

finds the commercial feed to be in violation of KRS 250.491 to 250.631 and orders

its condemnation, the feed shall be disposed of in any manner consistent with its

quality and the laws of the state. However, in no instance shall the disposition of the

feed be ordered by the court without first giving the owner an opportunity to apply

to the court for release of the feed or for permission to process or relabel the feed to

bring it into compliance with KRS 250.491 to 250.631.
