Rodeo Horses Killed By Contaminated Feed

[walktrot]

My horse had Blue Seal only throughout his life. I retired him to another barn which fed Purina but would feed the Blue Seal if I bought it, which I did. I got into a conversation with the manager of the local Blue Seal company store a few years ago. She told me Blue Seal is manufactured in Vermont. The production schedule is set up so that horse feed is not manufactured following something for another animal that has ingredients that can be toxic to horses.

Blue Seal has been in business in New England for over 150 years. They are now associated with Kent. Our store manager has been at this for years. She really knows her stuff, including competing products. .

BlueSeal/Sentinel are Kent Feeds, and are ionophore-safe. A good company will start the day with “pristine” chutes and containers, and yes, the order of production is usually in terms of what needs to be the safest, to the “least safe” as in contains ingredients that would harm the previous species, but not the next.

The risk, however small, is still there from an improper cleanout the night before.

Blue Seal is also manufactured in in several states, the facility in NY is not far from me.

It’s what I feed and so far I’ve been very happy with it.
