This prevents mechanical and flow rate fluctuations.  Cross contamination should also be avoided.  On-farm mixing equipment must be verified often (no less than once a year) to comply with the CFIA.  Mixers are valid if the coefficient of variation for the test batch is within the lower control limit.  Scales must be tested with a strict set of steps and regulations.
