LAKELAND, Fla. — A Lakeland-based animal feed manufacturer is recalling four of its horse feed products following a possible link to the deaths of three horses in South Florida.

The deaths are being investigated by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Spokeswoman Erin Gillespie told The Ledger of Lakeland (http://bit.ly/1xPxHEP) that the feed has been sent to a private lab for testing and that the results should be ready by the end of the week.

Lakeland Animal Nutrition recalled the four products on Oct. 22. It is a subsidiary of Alltech, an animal nutrition company based in Nicholasville, Ky. The horses died between Oct. 16 and 20 at a South Florida ranch. Lakeland general manager Jonathan Lang said in a statement released Wednesday, "This action was taken as a measure of caution following three horses’ deaths at one Florida farm on Oct. 16 to 20. At this time, the cause of the horses’ deaths has not been determined; autopsy results remain pending."...
