RE: [RC] RC: Alfalfa Pellets - Pam Bailie

We use a combination of beet pulp, dry cob and rice bran - We have different
horses with different needs so that works for us plus vitamins etc.....Big
plus is all parts are easily identifiable so you know if something is not
right.  Pam

I stopped using Purina several years ago when I found one bag was good, 
but the next would have a big chunk of dried molasses. The consistency 
was just not what it should have been.

Well, apparently, not picky enough! this summer I got several bags of 
moldy Equine senior. boujght them from different stores, so it wasn't 
a problem with just one store. My stallion was getting sicker and 
sicker until I figured it out and switched feeds. I've also found huge 
chunks of sticky molasses and who knows what else in bags of their 
senior feed.
 
They may have the best research in the industry, but look at the 
labels on thier feed and then labels on other brands of feed. Purina 
will never give you exact ingredients... it's "grain byproducts" 
forage products, etc. I'm now buying "Kent' brand feeds. They tell you 
the exact percentage of rice bran, of beet pulp, of alfalfa, etc in 
each bag of feed. With Purina's loose lableing, they can't be held to 
a certain amount of any one type of grain or forage. They can buy 
what's cheapest on the market.
 
Their response to me when I wrote them a bout the moldy feed was less 
than helpful. I'm gone.

    I worked for a major grocery chain (in advertising, not stocking
    shelves
    thank you) and our brand of dog food was Purina that didn't make it
    through their inspection process...like the puppy chow from the
    bottom of
    the silo where there were a few too many broken pieces. They're
    apparently pretty particular.
