 Making the post season

Location: your guess is as good as mine | This pretty much sums it up:
This case, as well as those from South Carolina and Florida, beg the question: If monensin is so terribly dangerous to horses, why is horse feed manufactured on the same equipment as feed containing monensin? And while we are accustomed to seeing warning labels on human food that contains allergens like peanuts or dairy, why are feed companies not required to list other products processed by the same equipment, particularly when the ingredients could be potentially toxic?
ADM's refusal to accept any sort of culpability in this just absolutely astounds me. |

I wonder if they deleted it all? I just went on their FB page and it's not showing anything about the monesin issue. |

Location: North MS | Regarding feed test labs- who is everyone using. So far I have seen the post about UC Davis. I have an appointment next week at MSU and guess who happens to have a sample of feed I purchased in September of last year- a bag of senior I was feeding my injured horse who passed away. I can't help but wonder about the feed now. Since I am already going to the vet school I can take the sample with me and see about testing. I know Auburn did testing on one sample as well. |

Auburn has done more then one sample on the ADM feed. Some people are waiting results as it takes 1-2 weeks to come back. |

Agree, it is heartbreaking to lose a horse in any way but especially to something like this that could easily be preventable. |

ETA: I'm tempted to print out this response and include it with the products I'm shipping back...and tell them that their obvious lack of concern tells me they're not worth MY money. 
DO IT. I wrote on there public face book wall that until they use an ion free mill ill be switching to a feed with a garantee
I just looked on ADM Facebook page.. they have gotten a bunch of angry posts! They are definitely under fire right now. Their response is the same over and over again.
Which facebook page is the one you're looking at? I tried finding it but there are so many different ones for ADM |

It depends on which plant your feed came from. I was feeding it but am switching because of the chance its contaminated. |

I wanted to switch to Renew Gold and it's not in my area.....I then decided on Bluebonnet....it's not in my area.....I have found some Tribute about an hour away but really wish I could feed Renew Gold...I have to do something quick because I have a bag full of ADM Primeglo that I was feeding and now I have no feed at all because I am not going to continue to feed it.....I have a 31 year old gelding and a 10 year old hard keeper mare that cannot go without feed.!!!! I want Renew Gold!!! Maybe pick up some rice bran? Platinum performance makes an awesome product that is a complete supplement. It has quite a bit of fat and calories.
You could always try Jeffers and have it delivered. You are much closer to me but I was totally desperate to get it in. Its expensive but it was worth it for me. I also saw someone carrying it on Amazon. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I've got to buy feed today and am still confused about what to do. I obviously don't need to continue with ADM, but I don't like my other choices, which are Purina and Nutrena. I can get clean local oats and alfalfa pellets for the younger horses, but that doesn't help me with the oldies. |

What about feeding the oats and alfalfa pellets and adding in a vit/min supplement geared towards seniors? |
