Saracen recalls supplement allegedly contaminated with ractopamine
Saracen Horse Feeds are recalling a batch of the feed supplement Neigh Lox as it has allegedly been found to be contaminated with ractopamine.
Horse owners using the product have been asked by the company to check their tubs for batch number 9B04-408.
If you have any product from this batch please return it to stockists and ask for a refund or replacement tub.
Ractopamine is a feed supplement commonly given to pigs to promote muscle growth.
Neigh Lox can be used as supplement to help maintain gastric health in horses with high grain intake, or those experiencing high levels of stress.
It can also be used for horses entering stressful situations, travelling, those with poor appetites and for those that have already been treated for ulcers.
Saracen has written to its stockists and all unsold tubs have been recalled.
