Horse Feed, Other Farm Animal Feed Production to Continue While Historic Mill Gets Facelift
MERIDIAN, Idaho-(Business Wire)-September 8, 2009 - The Feed Mill, a seven-story local landmark that has made horse feed, poultry feed and other farm animal feed since the early 1900’s, is getting a new coat of paint.
“Sales of all-natural feeds will continue at the mill throughout the project,” said Callie Novak, vice president of Dynamite Marketing, which owns The Feed Mill.
The work has its challenges. A boom lift allows painters to reach the top of the silo. The mill is made of three different materials: cement, metal and wood, each requiring a different type of paint.
Idaho’s Zamzow family, which purchased the mill in 1953, has been producing all-natural horse feed, poultry feed, and other animal feeds for four generations.
Mill personnel still make hand inspections of incoming ingredients. It is believed to be one of the only animal feed mills in the country that prohibits antibiotics, chemical preservatives, fumigants, meat, bone meal and other contaminants on the premises.
“This is important in manufacturing horse feed and food for other sensitive herbivores such as alpacas, ostriches and emus,” Novak said. Products for carnivores, such as dog food, are produced at a separate location.
“A lot of people are amazed to learn they can still walk in and buy farm animal feed,” she said. “We want to preserve the mill and the approach to animal health that it represents.”
Dynamite products also are available through more than 4,000 individual distributors. All products use only natural ingredients. The recently developed Ultimate Dog Food is a raw dog food that does not need to be refrigerated.
“Our roots are in healthy horse feed,” Novak said. “Our horse supplement was so far ahead of its time that we have seen other companies use some of our original feed technology and introduce it as ‘new’ — 20 years after we first introduced it.”
