So, I spoke to Charnwood yesterday about their Brewers Yeast as I want to make sure I can get some more in that horses will actually eat. They said they currently have German and out of the batch they have had over the last month or so they have ~only~ had a couple of people report that their horses won't eat it. That still seems quite a lot to me particularly if those are people that regularly feed Brewers Yeast which they probably would be as they are buying it in 25Kg sacks. He said they had had awful trouble with the Czech stuff and it almost sounded like it wasn't actually Brewers Yeast as he called it something different to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Whatever it was the horses obviously didn't like it. The good news is is that they are getting Polish stuff back in stock in 10 working days and that is the stuff the horses like. Don't think they will be messing around with suppliers any more judging from the feed back they have got.
Second call to a feed company was to Top Spec to tell them that so far three sacks of their ~molasses free~ Top Spec Top Chop Lite contained large (about 2 inch by 2 inch) lumps of molasses in it. They were understandably concerned about this and took it much more seriously than Marksway did when I reported the same problem with one of their feeds. My suspicion is that both companies have their feed made by the same mill and if this is the case then unfortunately this time I am reporting it to trading standards as they really couldn't see why I was bothered last time I complained. Last time it resulted in three horses getting laminitis and their feet have only just started to recover from it. We shall see what happens.
