Ionophores and Horse Feed

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of horses in Oklahoma due to ionophore (Rumensin) contamination. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Beutler family during this difficult time. 😔

At H&S Feed & Country Store, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our equine community. As a trusted Purina Feed Dealer, we want to reassure you that all Purina horse feeds are produced in dedicated, ionophore-free manufacturing facilities. You can read below a statement from Purina Mills regarding their feed.  You can also find more information on their quality standards on this issue at this link.

“As an active member of the equine community, our hearts ache when an owner loses a horse. As horse owners ourselves, we understand the importance of consistent, quality feed.

Because our feed quality is of the upmost importance, our manufacturing facilities where Purina® horse feeds are produced are 100% ionophore-free and are operated according to strict quality standards, providing peace-of-mind that the Purina feed you select is trustworthy.

If you have any questions about Purina horse feed, please contact your local Purina representative, our customer service team, or your local Purina retailer.”
