They said the mare died from a Mare and Foal formula. |

| Ugg, the pain of losing one plus the anger knowing it was from contaminated feed because of human error or a company is not through enough is terrible. So sad. |

Here is her quote - it does say Nutrena feed, which is what was fed to the other horse in Perry.
Kayla Keith added 3 new photos — with Lacey Marie Guidry and 22 others. Horse friends feel free to share. I am at a loss of words right now. We had to put "Feel My Fame" down and she was 6 months pregnant. I am hurt, sad, broken hearted but most of all I am furious. Nutrena feed is what we suspect. She is having an autopsy done to confirm this. I'm not posting the videos I have of her because they are so hard to watch. This is a warning to test your feed if you are feeding any of the Nutrena feeds! I am going to fight as hard as I can to make sure another horse does not have to suffer through this. I am going to miss her. RIP SweetCheeks. |

Yes...It's a Nutrena brand.
BUT... The one (nbha world) is a Wrangler formula and hers was a Mare and Foal. She stated that in the comments, not just on the original post. Which means there are more than 1 kind/variety that has the toxins in the feed. That means there could be other varieties that have it too.

This is so sad. Hope Nutrena does what is right. It won't bring back the lost horses but they still need to. Hopefully they will pull this feed off of production.

They'll deny, deny, deny, just like ADM did. They'll find something else to place the blame on. |

Of course, it's never the companies fault. |

True Nate - that is why when a company who produces medicated feeds say their stuff is safe and never run on the same line, isn't' in the vacinity etc., etc., you should not believe them. Cross contamination happens. And animals die.
Exactly.
Anytime I have mentioned to people the reason I stopped feeding or won't feed certain brands, they stop listening. They don't want to hear it.
I did finally get my mom to switch hers from Nutrena. And if someone asks what she feed and asks why she swapped, shell tell them bc the feed wasn't safe. And then they tune out...
I don't get it.
I know so many people who just keep feeding it bc "Well I've never had any issues."
I do feel bad for the owners' losses, and for the suffering animals. But at the same time I'm angry that we even have to deal with this, and that many are deaf to it bc it hasn't affected them.
But I am sure that my ponies are safe and taken care of and that's all I can do. |

You are so right, I have tried to tell people, and some actually listen. But most just stick their head in the sand... "well, I've never had any problem with it...." nope, until you do and then it's too late.... Also one I hear... "they look so much better when I feed Nutrena"... so to me that is just laziness. Why would you not try and get the best and safest feed for your horses??? |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | I have a serious question......how can they tell so soon that it was from tainted feed? Are there tests that they can perform immediately on the horse? Or are they "guessing"? I would "assume" that the feed would have to be tested ???? |

When my horses were posioned, we didn't get the bloodwork done, (we were out of town) only the samples of the feed showing the posion. Which to my vet and UFG explained the symptons that we had, that were presented by the vet on call.
Edited to say - in my case two other farms, one in SC and one in AL, had the same lot of feed, verififed through labels, and they did have the bloodwork done within the time frame and it showed the posioning.

I'm sorry for her loss, but the feed company was not to blame if she's feeding what she's pictured here. Owners need to read the label and educate themselves! |

| I'm so sorry to hear of this. Where do you find reliable info on if the feed manufacturer produces medicated feed at the same plant? Even if you go with a brand that only produced horse feed you would have to guarantee that they do not outsource the manufacturing at a different plant. |
