Did you know? 🤔

Up to 60 percent of an unborn foal’s growth occurs in the final three months of pregnancy. This means your mares nutritional needs change, too! Learn more about the nutritional solutions we offer for broodmares and growing horses.

“Hi there! I am SO grateful to BUCKEYE™ -- my TB mare, Phoebe, spent much of 2023 with recurring ulcers. We treated and scoped and treated and scoped for months, changing her turnout, competition schedule, and workload with no lasting relief. We ultimately found that the wall of her small intestine was inflamed and thickened, and she was at risk of a serious colic if we did not address. She spent months on steroids with only minimal change to her intestine, until our vet recommended a feed change. We switched her to EQ8™ Gut Health and GRO 'N WIN™ in February, and by the start of the summer she had a clean bill of health from our internal medicine vet. She's put on so much muscle and has been happy and comfortable ever since. I'm so grateful to have my best friend feeling so well-- for most of last year and this winter, I truly didn't know if it would be possible to make and keep her comfortable. I'm incredibly grateful to have my brave, sassy girl back!”

Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your and Phoebe’s story! We are honored to have been able to help your sweet girl get back to being herself!

🐴 INTRODUCING: Life Lessons from Horse People 🐴

LLFHP #1: Caitlyn

As horse lovers, many of us are familiar with common ailments our horses might experience, and how to identify those. Are you familiar with Choke, and how to recognize it in your horse?🤔

Check out our most recent blog post for more information about this condition, how to identify it, and management tips to reduce your horse’s risk.🐴

For most horses, it is reasonable to assume that feeding time is one of the highlights of their day. They often peer out of their stalls expectantly, nickering as they hear feed scoops being filled and grain rations being readied. The nickers of excitement increase as the feed cart is wheeled down t...

We are so thrilled to hear of Gunny’s success on LOW ‘N STEADY™️! Thank you, TopGun Farm, for your trust in us! 💚🖤

“We got the greatest call from the vet today!! A year later it's important that I point out that this has been a long and strategic process. But Gunny's numbers are normal and in perfect range!! 26.5!!! When he was critical it was over 200!! (normal is 10 to 40)
He was always a healthy, sound pony. I am very particular about my feed program and have never had an issue with any of my ponies. BUT. What I did not have complete control of was our hay. Yes we had a regular steady supplier. Yes we test. But, we were sent hay from different fields, and it was off the charts in sugars and mold! Mold we could not smell or detect. Imagine our surprise when it was tested😳 It was immediately removed and replaced. Sadly the damage was done. Gunny was in a bad way. Quite honestly the most heart breaking and awful thing I have ever experienced. He could not stand for long. Greg literally held him up so I could pack his feet every night. He was on quite a cocktail of pain meds. And he was down for weeks. He could not walk (short version) But he fought hard and I was NOT giving up on him. We have managed him carefully with our great vets at Cleveland Equine. With the support of my good friend Heather Walter and our amazing BUCKEYE™️ Nutrition family, he is a healthy, sound and happy boy. Completely med free...💙This probably would not have been possible without the perfectly timed new product available to us. LOW ‘N STEADY™️ has literally helped save his life. He was on a trial prior to the roll out and the timing could not have been any better!! Thank God for my friend Lilly Ehrman and her knowing it was just what we needed💙

It is important to have a good relationship with your feed company. Get to know your reps and don't just call when there's an issue. The support and planning is all the difference! Thank you Lilly and BUCKEYE™️ Nutrition.
💙💜”

🤔 What sets BUCKEYE™️ Nutrition apart from other feed producers?
One of the many higher standards we hold ourselves to as an entity of MARS Inc. is finished goods metal detection. The industry standard followed by most feed manufacturers involves a series of magnets placed throughout the production process, to catch any metallic foreign objects before feed is bagged. At BUCKEYE™️ Nutrition, we take this a step further. While our feeds do pass over a series of magnets, we have also included metal detection as part of our production process. These machines are sensitive enough to detect particles as small as the head of a ball point pen! When our metal detectors alarm, the production system is stopped, and the offending bag is immediately pulled from the line and is not sold. This practice allows us to negate the risk of horses ingesting foreign objects made of metal. This additional step in our production process is worth it to us; safeguarding your horse’s health is the core purpose of our business.
Here’s a look inside our mill as PROMINENT™️ passes through our metal detectors!

We met these incredible riders yesterday as they stopped by Congress on their way back home. These horses were fed mostly CADENCE™ Ultra and ULTIMATE FINISH™ 100 throughout their trek! They put our feed to the test, and their horses looks great! Congratulations on finishing your ride across Canada!!! 🇨🇦
