Ridecamp: Re: [RC] AERC list of permitted substances on-line

Last week I for, God knows whatever reason, picked up a brochure of some 
feed in a feed store. This was a commercial textured feed. Turns out it 
has some sort of yucca extract in it. It had some reason why it was 
there which had to do with digestion, but I don't remember the details. 
I also don't know (nor did it say) what this yucca extract was. I am 
sure if one company is using it they probably all are or will if it does 
have a benefit.

If I had bought this feed, would this yucca extract tested and would I 
have been in violation of the AERC drug policy?  Does it make a whole 
lot of sense that the AERC bands ingredients included in commercial 
feeds from well established feed companies? Does this whole issue need a 
revisit - after all it's been 10 years without one and time does march 
on. I think so.
