FW: Heads up! Purina horse feed - quot;unannounced recallquot;
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I received the message below from our farrier. Gail As an FYI, I've heard from several sources that Purina has recalled many of their feeds due to the potential aflatoxins as a precautionary measure. It is not an announced recall, but if you call the Purina number you get the info, Google the words Purina horse feed recall 2008. and you see a lot of discussion on various equine boards. If you feed Purina, it's worth checking into.

This message is from: Tanya Manser [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a set of harness that I've used with two of my Fjords. Its leather but not English leather. Nice quality, havanna and brass.

Re: powdered psyllium source?
This message is from: jen frame [EMAIL PROTECTED] HI, I buy my Psyllium from Horsetech.com they have very high quality and very low prices and they have free shipping . Actually, I think the cost may be a tiny bit higher than Su-Per Psyllium that you can order from KVVET.com but the Horsetech psyllium also has some flax mixed in it which adds to the mucilagenous qualities (i.e. the intestinal sweeping abilities). Jen On 4/30/08, Sharon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This message is from: Sharon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Robin wrote... What kind of powdered psyllium do you buy? I have never seen it in powder except like metamucil. Also why the senior feed as opposed to some other feed? Hi Robin, O.H.Kruse manufacutres the 20 lb (5 gal bucket). I get it at the feed stores in Norco, CA. The bucket actually reads: Kruse's Perfection Brand - Natural Psyllium Fiber - in powdered form. It kinda looks like Metamucil. Re: mixing it with senior feed... that's just what the surgeons recommended because senior feed is a bit moist to begin with and with a drizzle of oil, the psyllium sticks to it pretty well. But they said any bagged feed was ok. It's ok to mix it with more than 1/2 cup if that helps your horse to eat it. They were adamaent that it cannot get wet with water, just oil, before it's eaten. If you don't get the psyllium to stick to some kind of feed, the horse exhales and it's just dust in their face and up their nose. see ya, Sharon Sand colic routine Hi, I live in Southern California and the surgeons at the Chino Valley Equine Hospital here recommend the following: For 7 consecutive days each month, give 1 cup psyllium mixed well with @1/2 cup senior feed and drizzled with @ 2 teaspoons of canola, corn oil. Feed morning and night for the 7 days. It can also be mixed with other supplements as long as there is no contact with water before feeding. The psyllium must not contact water before eaten because it must swell up in the digestive tract to 'sweep' the digestive tract. ( I mix the 14 servings up at once, sealing each of the 14 servings in a gallon ziplock. Then I just pour it into her bucket and give it at the same time with breakfast and dinner hay.) Use the cheapest powdered psyllium available. No pelleted form. They said it doesn't work. These surgeons do 2-3 colic surgeries daily (impaction, stones, or sand colics) on all kinds of horses (backyard to $100K horses). 14 cups of psyllium is 3 lbs. I buy a 20 lb bucket, for @$60 and it lasts 6 months. good luck, Sharon The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Correct Info for Purina
This message is from: Debbie Ulrich [EMAIL PROTECTED] I looked into this immediately as I feed my horses Purina and my husband is a Purina dealer at his farm service store. We were on the phone to Purina. Here is what we found out: It is a voluntary recall and it is in one truck from a vendor that was delivered to Pennsylvania in a grain product. This vendor contacted Purina to let them know that it could have aflatoxins in it. Purina tests products first of all and then many tests have been done and nothing was found. It is a very isolated case and is only in the that state in one load. This product was not put in a lot of feeds and nothing has been found. I just wanted people to know so that people do not have to worry. Debbie Ulrich Corgi Hill Farm Winona, MN Subject: FW: Heads up!
