So is ALL Nutrena Horse Feed safe??
According to my conversation with them today, their feed in Oklahoma is all produced in OKC which is safe... That is the take I got on it
I talked to them today as well, everything in the southeastern part of the nation, comes from a mill in Alabama. It is all ionophore free. |

I'd like to know this too, but my guess is it depends on what company makes them and where they are processed. Most will probably be processed in the same locations as cattle feed....if I had to guess... |

I think it would depend on Manufacturer |

| We as horse owners should not have to worry about stuff like this. Same as when they recalled the dog and cat food..I was on pins and needles till I found out the dog food I had was "safe". |

Location: between here and there | SG - As soon as I can get my FB to come up (seems to be locked and won't let me scroll at all) I will post the info from Total Equine. I have a local sales rep
close by and I contacted him today. In short, he says they aren't manufactured in the same locations and we are safe from cattle meds in the horse feeds. He said I was the first one to contact him. |

Location: between here and there | SG -Here's the reply from my Total Equine rep in IN.
We do not make horse feed where cattle feed is made with remencin. Our Total Bull feed does not have any inophores.
Thanks for the question. Been waiting for someone to ask!

| Interesting....
As mentioned...Triple Crown pays Nutrena to manufacture their feed...so the only way to really know is to find out what Nutrena does, which it sounds like they are a bit iffy.
I guess the best way to be sure would be to check out what facility your TC was manufactured out of and go from there.
I am so sorry to our Board Buddy that is loosing their horse. |

I emailed Southern States - they make Triple Crown and Legends. No answer yet. Southern States does make livestock feed. |

I emailed TC as well. I am in California and my senior feed is made in Merced. They do produce medicated feed there but was told that their production practices far exceed any regulatory standards. I have never had a problem so will continue to feed it. |

Here is the response I received from Tribute yesterday:
"Thank you for contacting Tribute Equine Nutrition. We certainly are aware of the several cases of contamination in the news and thus understand your concerns. Please rest assured all Tribute feeds are made in a totally separate facility from where Kalmbach medicated cattle, pig and chicken feed are made, thus there is zero risk of contamination with ionophores like Rumensin or hormonal growth promotants.
In over 50 years of manufacturing animal feeds we have never had such contamination!
Thank you for caring enough to check in with us."

Also, FYI - Auburn University in Auburn AL does do the testing. It is done at the Thompson Bishop Sparks Sate lab. You can go to their web page, get the forms and send it in. It is $50 for each batch, plus $10 handling fee. They prefer a zip lock gallon bag, with the lot number and type of feed written on the bag.
I received an answer yesterday. I am in KY and the mill that is by me is rumensin free. |
