Having problems with message search?
I went to the article and VERY CAREFULLY READ IT AGAIN.
The stable owner caused the problem IT WAS NOT THE FEED FROM PURINA.
"the horses had been given Purina feed, which the stable buys in bulk. The feed was stored in a silo and treated with a chemical tablet designed to kill weevils, she said, explaining that the stable has used the same feed and chemical treatment since 1998. The chemical is not supposed to be harmful to horses, she said."
She was supposed to wait TWO WEEKS before feeding and did not!!
One member of one of the horse groups is a former coop member at a grain elevator and wrote in the following:

WHAT A interesting article. I can conclude.. that the grain was treated with phostoxin. a tablet that All grain elevators use to treat grain stored in their Binds. (HAS BEEN A COOP EMPLOYEE FOR ABOUT 9 YEARS) But... Phostoxin was the chemical used to kill the jews way back in our early history. To use this chemical your suppose to have a chemical applicators card issued by the government. IF they would of read the User sheet on this... chemical they would of NOT fed the horses the next day. IT would of set for two weeks.. before feeding. and OF course I will say my horsie prayers for all them horses.. Belinda
The stable owner said "The feed most recently was treated with the chemical Saturday evening, Raphel said. Three horses were fed Sunday morning, and the remainder were fed later that
day."
The stable owner did not post a warning on the silo to tell all employees and boarders not to use the grain - that is pure negligence on the part of the stable owner.
We post feed charts to protect our horses and notices of any chemicals used around the ranch and we a a small operation. Why could a large stable not be careful?????
The full article can be read at:
We need to be very careful when we post information not to damage a company or put the equine world into a panic.
This was the result of a careless stable not of the Purinamills products.
