Location: Missouri | I I am currently feeding the primeGLO and really like it for my easy keeper mare. I would really like to continue her in it but am a little nervous about it. I mean there hasn't been any cases of anything happening near me but it's still in the back of my mine when she's all I got :/ I just don't know what I would switch her to..... |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | If you're going to keep feeding it, it would be smart to send in a feed sample for testing. for sure find out exactly where your feed is being made and check to see if medicated feeds are processed there. It doesn't matter if there haven't been any "known" cases in your area. This is a sneaky problem that can disguise itself as something else. |

Are the minerals possibly contaminated? I just ordered some GroStrong Mineral Blocks but haven't picked them up yet. I haven't read all 30 something pages on the feed issue, so can someone educate me? |

They do make a medicated mineral. Can't tell you if yours is at risk tho.
I won't continue to support a company that would lie to someone about their feed being contaminated, regardless of how much I like the product. |

This is my thought too. They don't give a rats patoot about sick and dead horses. I won't support them either. |

My vet said it was a heart attack more than likely but after following the feed safe thread Im concerned it could of been from her feed. I still have one horses and he has been on ADM SENIORGLO the same amount of time as my mare was. I am switching today! I will not risk his life. I suggest you switch and sooner than later would be best. |

Exactly. They are telling everyone that their feed had nothing to do with those horses dying and that the low levels of monensin found in the samples were not high enough to harm a horse. Hello!! ANY amount is unacceptable!! |

Tubs got scrubbed scoops got scrubbed just simply not worth the risk to finish feeding a bag...

Anyone that thinks they are JUST accusations must not read EventNation, Rate my horse.com. Dressagenews etc..there are proven blood results and tests to confirm Monosin poisoning.... vets, labs, FDA , etc.. all have proven beyond a doubt horses tested positive and so did their feed bags.. |

There's a testing facility in Brookings, SD and one somewhere in MN. I think Brookings is 150. |

| About a year ago I was feeding ADM to all 3 of my horses. Two were on the Patriot and one on the Senior. Didn't have any problems and I used to feed it for years when I was in Kansas. I was having a hard time getting it so I switched to Nutrena Special Care for two and Nutrena Senior for one. Saturday I switched all to Bluebonnet. Trying to simplify things. I have them on Equipride for an all around supplement then I add a weight gain for the Senior guy. |

Depending on which Bluebonnet product you chose to switch to, you might contact their nutritionist and make sure that those supplements are necessary. I know that the Intensify 12/8 that we are feeding has many of the same properties that we used to use Equipride for.

The rep I talked to tried to tell me that if a sample tested safe, that meant the entire bag/batch was safe. He didn't believe there could be "hot spots". They're really sticking with their deny, deny, deny tactics. |

Location: OKLAHOMA | I have to admit, I have been just sitting and reading all the threads on this all situation. I read about the contamination in the southern part of the U.S. back several months ago and just broke my heart. I have fed ADM for almost 14years. Started with Moor GLO, have fed
Senior Glo, Power Glo and several of the Patriot's over the the years. Have been feeding Patriot for the past year. This whole issue has me so angry. We as horse people have put our faith not to mention the amount of money we have spent into a company that has turned so money hungry that they do not care. I will not claim to completely understand and the so called technical jargin. But I will not knowingly feed something that can possibly cause my horses any harm. As of last week I switch to Renew Gold. So far I like it my mares seem to like it. I pray that nobody has any more issues from this whole terrible thing, and also for those who have lost possibly lost a horse to this problem. I will share that I called and spoke with people from Renew Gold and found them very helpful with this. When I went in to buy Renew the girls at the counter were shocked when i asked for it, and told me the ADM rep wash in the store and asked if i would like to talk with him. I loudly told them NO, because it appeared all they could give anybody was excuses . Wishing everybody the best with trying to decied which way to go!! |

Location: Somewhere between the badlands and worselands | I'm sorry but some of the posts about not changing because it comes from so and so mill or you're going to have it tested.....
UMMMM HELLO!?!?!?! You're going to continue to feed something that could potentially harm/kill your horse and has been proven to do so because it might not be contaminated because a certain mill might do things differently? And what about testing? Are you gonna have every bag tested? Just because the batch you had tested isn't contaminated doesn't mean the next one wont be. If you're going to spend upwards of 100 dollars to have it tested, why not just invest that in new feed instead?
I guess I just don't understand. If i found out something my horses are ingesting could hurt them, I would light it on fire. I invested way too much time, money, and love into my animals to put them at risk. And there's too many well formulated NON TOXIC feeds out there to do so.

Location: Beggs, OK | Please remember that ADM is not the only mill with a problem. Random testing by individuals and sharing of information will reduce the likelyhood of this happening to someone else. The FDA needs new guidelines when it comes to horse feed, because as of right now there are no publish "action levels" for ionophores in horse feed....it simply shouldn't be there. |
