Consistency & Quality Assurance

WE ARE A FIXED-FORMULA COMPANY.

Horses are powerful animals with delicate digestive systems. Maintaining consistency in their nutrition is important for their health and performance.

BUCKEYE™ Nutrition products are fixed formula to provide nutritional consistency you can trust. While other brands change their ingredients often based on grain prices (this is called a least-cost formula), BUCKEYE Nutrition ingredients remain consistent. All the ingredients in our feeds are printed right on the bag, so you know exactly what you’re getting. With fixed formulations, this ingredient list never changes. 

Additionally, being a single-mill company means those ingredients and nutritional consistency do not waver, regardless of where in North America you purchase our feeds and supplements. While some producers may adjust their formulas based on the region of the US in which they are produced, BUCKEYE Nutrition is truly fixed formula. Regardless of where you live, when you purchase our feeds, you can be confident your horse is eating the same blend you know and trust.

When your horse eats BUCKEYE Nutrition, you can rest easy knowing they are getting consistent, high-quality, safe horse feed. 

WE SET HIGH STANDARDS.

Our ingredients must meet our nutrient specifications and stringent quality and safety expectations, and this is no easy task!

When a truckload of ingredients arrives at our plant, BUCKEYE Nutrition samples, tests, and checks whether the load meets our strict quality standards before allowing drivers to unload their trucks. Ingredients are tested for mycotoxins, nutrient quality, and inspected for foreign materials. If an ingredient does not meet our strict quality standards, we do not accept the delivery.

WE TAKE NO SHORTCUTS.

At BUCKEYE Nutrition, we hold ourselves to higher standards, so you have peace of mind. We proudly maintain global certifications for quality, and we’re proud to say we’ve never had a single recall as a Mars, Incorporated brand. 

Because BUCKEYE Nutrition manufactures all our feeds at a single family-owned location, we have total control over the ingredients and the final product. We only use select, certified suppliers who comply with our 100 percent pure, traceable ingredient promise. Additionally, every bag of finished feed is metal-detected in our facility before ever being shipped to one of our trusted retailers. It is unfortunately not rare to find discarded cans in farm fields, and though our feeds run across multiple magnets throughout our mill, the addition of highly sensitive metal detectors adds another layer of protection for the horses we are entrusted to feed.

Producing BUCKEYE Nutrition products in line with our three 100 Percent Promises means optimal nutrition, designed for the horse, with zero risk of cross-contamination. To learn more about our 100 Percent Promises, click here.
