There were a lot of other safety procedures he told us about that I found interesting.
They have a way of taking a sample of grain from every truck load, run it thru some type of test to make sure it meets their standard in just 15 minutes.
He gave us the stats of how often a load is rejected. In 2004 they rejected .3% of loads. But in 2003, just the year before they rejected 2.4%.
He made the comment..."So what do you think happened to that grain...did it go to the dump?"....
I've been a big fan of Purina also. I don't think I could buy anything else.
Something else he told us that was interesting on a few levels was, about the use of supplements. He recommends NOT supplementing except on vets advise. He said a horses system is very fragile, and things need to stay balanced. That when you supplement you upset that balance that is in all Purina feeds. If you don't know enough the inbalance can be more of a problem then what ever you are trying to fix with the supplement. I that that interesting because Purina has soooooo many supplements...LOL...they don't recommend it much, but they sure will cash in on it.

So, where did he said it went? I like and use Purina products also.
I'm not surprised about supplements either. It seems just about everyone over uses them when only rarely are they necessary. Thanks for all the information.
