Location: wherever my daughter's running | Anyone feeding this please see article below. 3 horses in SC have died recently and with the help of Michigan State the owners traced the cause of death to this feed.

Location: Displaced Iowegian | Where did you get the information that it was ADM pellets. I read the whole article and it never mentioned the feed company. I also find it strange that it only affected 3 horses if they were feeding the same feed to all?

Location: wherever my daughter's running | A good friend posted this article on Facebook this morning. The owner, Ms Kennedy, commented on the post less than an hour ago stating their attorney had given them permission to release the name of the feed. I snapped a picture of her response and will try to post. I feel 100% certain this is true.

I wanted to share this information ASAP as it was just released this morning and obiviously left out some necessary information. I posted my source. I wondered about the number of horses also. It is possible not all of the horses there are grained. Hoping the one currently in critical condition makes it. |

| Do you guys have lot numbers on your bags of feed?
Here in Canada when we buy feed it is documented which lot number we get incase of recalls.

It is quite possible that some horses were getting different kinds of feed, etc..... |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | I feed that feed. I also know that our 12% is made locally in Cordele GA. I actually had to wait to get me feed this Wednesday because I switched my main guys to the 12%. While babies get 14%. Which is also made in Cordele. I know there are different plants for different areas.
That said, I hate someone had an animal die and that it may have been a food source. No matter what the source. |

This farm is in Beaufort County, SC. Not sure if where you are in GA would be served by the same plant or not. What was found in the feed was something that is in cattle feed that is poisonous to horses. This was reported by Michigan State where they sent the feed to be checked. They had already dealt with all other food and water sources. Her attorney gave her permission to release the name. I feel for the company that produced the feed. Mostly I feel for the owners of the horses. Sounds like the Kennedy's have been in a living hell for the past few weeks and with one horse still critical it's along way from being over for them. |

The person who owns the farm where the horses were said it was ADM Alliance 12% pellets. That's all I know. I am not at all familiar with ADM feed. |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | Lewis you sell out of the Cordele plant. And the one horse in the picture, the sorrel you could tell was old. However, it should be of concern to ADM if this is true. And, it should also be of concern to any and all feed facilities as this is happening way too much. No one has said ADM is. Bad feed. Most if us love it. The concern is cross contamination of products. |

| I work at a feed mill and most mills mix both horse and cattle feeds. THAT particular batch of feed was probably mixed behind some cattle feed and the mixer was not cleaned well enough |
|
| |
|
Location: Georgia | This can happen with ANY horse feed that is mixed at a facility that does not use separate mixers for horse feed. I had 3 horses to colic and 1 die from Bartlett feed years ago. I had several horses who were not affected. The whole bag of feed is not necessarily tainted, therefore all don't get sick. Does anyone know how to find which horse feed company has strict quality control and does not mix cow feed in the same bins? |
