anybody having pinkeye problems?

This afternoon I went to the feed mill that makes my mineral. I had a very informative meeting with the manager. At his suggestion, I am upping the CTC and Vitamin A in my mineral. Vitamin A is sensitive to heat, sunlight and humidity. I also wasn't adding enough CTC to bring my mineral to a preventative level. Vitamin A is essential for eye health. It should be supplied through green grass but as bad as my pink eye is, something isn't working. Short term, I'll bump these two and hope for positive results.

Sounds like a good plan. I would have you do one other thing. Find out if the CTC they are getting is made in the USA. Some is made in China, and of course it is cheaper so some companies buy it. It also is not consistent so is not the same quality as what is made in the USA. I was going to mention this earlier and didn't, but it is certainly something to check on.

Good luck to you!
 
My CTC says:
Marketed by
PharmGate
Omaha, NE

Manufactured and Guaranteed by
Hood Packaging Corp

edit: I think the Hood Packaging Corp is for the sack and not the contents. No where on the sack can I find where this stuff is manufactured. grrrrrrr

That is not unusual, I would be surprised if it did show it. Just ask the supplier. It might take a bit to run it down, and it's most likely okay. I only mentioned it because the CTC in your mineral, if they were eating enough, and from my figures they were, you shouldn't
be seeing an outbreak of pinkeye. There are always exceptions, of course. The most CTC we have in stock mineral is 3.0, but I have never sold a bag of it. Our customers just stay on the standard CTC with IGR. If there are any problems, I haven't heard about it. I know there were some cases before they went with our mineral with CTC.

Just for fun, I'll see what I can find out about PharmGate, but I would imagine they are a reliable company.
