     1    Section  1.    Subdivision  7  of  section  128 of the agriculture and

     3  read as follows:
     4    7. "Commercial feed" means all materials except unmixed whole seeds or
     5  physically altered entire unmixed seeds, when not adulterated within the
     6  meaning  of  subdivision  one  of section one hundred thirty-two of this
     7  article, which are distributed for use as feed or for  mixing  in  feed,
     8  and  includes  pet  food  and specialty pet food. Provided, however, the
     9  commissioner by regulation may exempt  from  this  definition,  or  from
    10  specific  provisions  of  this  article, commodities such as hay, straw,
    11  stover, silage, cobs, husks, hulls, and individual chemical compounds or
    12  substances when  such  commodities,  compounds  or  substances  are  not
