Shocking find in my feed...

[shadowboy]

I opened a bag of feed today for mums beasts, and shoved scoop right in, fed Jake, then fatso, did livery horse and was stiring her feed when the metal spoon I used clunked against something! A sharp 3 inch sheered bit of metal. I am so pleased I found it, what could have happened to her had I not found it... the mind boggles. Should I call feed company to complain? Their QC checks must be poor three inches is not small.All I can say is check your feed!

What make of feed was that? Have found similar in a certain brand..

I found a part of machinery in my feed (some circular bearing thing), I sent it to the company and got £25 feed vouchers.

Dengie- in their Alfa A oil. i'm shocked at the size of it, and how sharp it was, I think I will also post it to the feed company!

Too right you should return it but take a pic first next to another household object as a guide.

thats shocking!

I would ring up their customer helpline immediately! I feed dengie alfa oil to mine too - quite worrying! I wonder if its a one off or has happened before?

I have found stuff in Dengie previously too.

Me too. I found a helium balloon (deflated!) in a bag of Alfa-A once. I sent it back to Dengie who were most apologetic and sent me some vouchers. They also told me that they employ a local scout troop to walk the fields before harvesting to check for any rubbish etc .

Definately ring Dengie, not only because they need to know but because they'll want to know! I found some glass in a herbal supplement once, I took it back to the shop where I bought it and they handled contacting the company (which was really good of them, the shop owner telephoned them there and then!). We got vouchers, another tub of supplement and a long and very apologetic letter.
Things happen, but something dangerous like sharp metal is a bit ridiculous if it manages to get through their quality control!

Absolutely complain. The bet was if you had not have found it i dont think your horse would have eaten it - but nevertheless it should not have bin in there!

definitely complain. send it off, with the bag maybe, if you know which bag of feed it came from. at the very least you'll get an apology and some vouchers.

 

[spaniel]

There should be a batch numbe ron the bag you found the object in, Dengie will probably need this number so they can check all the stuff that went through in that batch.
