Triple Crown Sequin Mill (81) and (BY) are ionophore mills. 81 is Sequin, TX and BY is Byhalia, MS.
Someone at TC is telling people that the Byhalia is ionophore free.... We need to check on this one. |

| Just FYI, the Purina Turlock plant in CA is a horse feed only mill and has zero iomnoohores. The rep who answered the phone was polite but said they have been getting dozens of calls every day. Lol |

Location: western Nebraska | I had a rep from Nutrena call me today. He said they have always taken extreme care to have no safety issues. I said I didn't care about that-I wanted to know about the plant in Sterling, CO. He said they are ionophore free from now on. He said they aren't issuing a big statement about it but he would guarantee it. He also said they had been getting lots of calls. |

| You need the tag or label sewn into the bottom strip of the bag. Nutrena puts it right on the tag. My ultium from purina said TRL for Turlock and the dates and lines it was made on. |

Hmmm, seems like they would want to make big statement do more people would know. |

Location: SE KS | I went to my local purina Coop yesterday - Picked up a bag of Purina - the feed strip is stjwith #and date of manufactoredwith shift (St joe, MO). Per the manager of my coop - the purina mill from St Joe, MO is only Dairy and horse feed. For those of you that don't know - Dairy cattle can not have and type of ionophore in their feed.
So if you Purina is from St Joe you should be safe.
And Bovatec free.

Location: Beggs, OK | Here's the response that I received from Triple Crown today:
My Question-
Could you please provide a list of your mills that are ionophore free? I am aware of all of the controls in place in your facilities. What I am looking for is a list of the mills that do not use ionophores at all.
Thank You-
Their response-
Rachel,
Thanks for contacting Triple Crown. Here is a list of the mills that we use that are rumensin/monensin free:
Coop Milling, Gettysburg, PA
Valdosta Mill, Valdosta, GA
Byhalia Mississippi mill
Sterling Colorado mill
Burlington Washington mill
Seguin Texas mill
Alexander NY mill
Albany NY mill
Milton Wisconsin does have it in the mill, but there are separate lines and mixers for medicated and non-medicated feeds... medicated feeds would never be run on the non-medicated side where the horse feeds are produced.
Please let me know how I can assist further.
Thanks!

Location: Beggs, OK | So then I questioned further:
Do these mills that are Monensin free use Lasalocid or any other ionophores?
Their response:
I just confirmed that these are totally Ionophore free… (except the Wisconsin mill - but as I mentioned, they have separate lines and systems for medicated and non-medicated feeds)
Please let me know how I can assist further.
Thanks!

Its like pulling teeth to get some of these companies to say whether they are COMPLETELY ionophore free. I really wonder if these people even know what the heck we're asking them. |

Exactly. I followed up with asking if there were medicated mills that produced Triple Crown horse feeds other than the one in Wisconsin.
Here's the response:
Yes,
There are mills that produce medicated feeds and also produce our feeds. Your area code puts you in Oklahoma. Your area would typically only be supplied only by the Seguin, Texas mill (indicated by an 81 on the feed tag). That mill was down for a bit for upgrades and the feed to that area has been supplied by: Byhalia Mississippi mill (indicated by a BY on the feed dag) and the Casa Grande, AZ mill (indicated by a CG on the feed tag)- The Casa Grande mill does produce feeds with ionophores.

Location: In The Land of Cotton | I am at home but I got a different answer from Triple Crown on the Valdosta GA mill. I will forward the email tomorrow from work. It was my understanding they do have and process the feeds with monensin in them there. |
