Location: Here | To further reduce your horse's risk of toxicity, purchase products manufactured at an ionophore-free mill.
Lastly, it's important not to confuse “ionophore-free” with “ionophore-safe.” For example, ionophores are not used in any feeds manufactured at ionophore-free mills, making it “free” of all ionophores. However, a mill that produces some of its feed with ionophores will use a series of flushes to clean the system and make it safe to manufacture horse feeds. But no matter how efficient the flushing procedure is, there is always a risk of cross-contamination.

That list is way too short for as big as Texas is. 
Thanks for posting all of this information. We can get this crap changed if we stand together in numbers. When they see their profits diminishing when we quit feeding this crap they will have to change or go out of business. If we ignore it, the horror stories will continue. |

I buy my feed at Shawnee Feed and it's on the certified list...does that mean their feed is 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 |

Location: In a happy place | I didn't have time to read all pages so this may be a stupid question but I need to leave to go to town.
I feed whole oats. Am I safe doing this. And at times I have mixed corn or alfalfa pellets with this. Should I not do that?
Thank you. |

| So what about the alfalfa pellets or alfalfa cubes that you get from Tractor Supply? Are they safe to feed to horses? |

| As someone said, there is a difference between being safe and being free. Correct? |
