Following the sad news in December about the Florida-based horse farm that lost several horses due to contaminated feed, news of another potential incident has been circulating, this time in South Carolina.
ADM Alliance Nutrition released a written statement this week regarding the allegations of feed contamination.
“ADM Alliance Nutrition is aware of the recent comments on social media and some news outlets concerning ADM Alliance 12% horse feed and its alleged link to deaths of horses. We take this matter very seriously and are working with authorities to investigate these horses’ deaths. We’re not aware that authorities have made any determination as to what caused the deaths, and based on our investigation to date, we have not found any evidence that our horse feed caused or contributed to these deaths.”
“The single sample of our horse feed tested for our customer at Michigan State University was negative for ionophores (monensin) at the detection limits for the test. We have sent additional samples for testing and will share information as soon as it’s available. If you have questions about your ADM feed, please contact us at AN.EquineHelp@adm.com.”
