A reminder to all horse owners to check the use-by dates on manufactured horse feed both at the point of purchase or if you have had it stored for some time in your shed.

The same applies to veterinary products.

If in any doubt about the age, or if the storage conditions have not been to the manufacturer's recommendations then dispose of the product appropriately.

If you need to report an adverse reaction to a veterinary or agricultural product, you can do it via this website

The Australian Government Pesticides & Veterinary Medicines Authority has a useful website, with one section containing a list of fact sheets of which some may be of interest for horse owners (Several on stock feeds/veterinary medicines)
