The purpose of the initial Surf Day was to identify Internet vendors selling equine feeds and equine feed supplements that may not be in compliance with Federal and State commercial feed regulations. This coordinated effort was aimed at in- forming the out-of-compliance firms of the regulations and bringing them into compliance. The potential ani- mal health issues and economic im- pact were the driving concerns of the animal feed regulators Surf Day.
