Managing Director of Roberts Manufacturing, Jonathan Hart, says there have been no findings linking their feed to the death of a farmer’s chickens as alleged in a social media post.
He was responded to a farmer’s public allegation that over 172 of his birds died after giving them feed from Pinnacle Feeds, a subsidiary of Roberts Manufacturing.
The individual, who did not identify himself, said he was a small farmer who now had to face the mounting financial loss. He mentioned that arrangements were made with the company for a veterinarian to investigate but the visit never materialised.
Hart said they were aware of the situation.
“We understand how serious and distressing this type of loss is for any farmer, particularly a small farmer, and we take the matter seriously. The complaint was received through our customer complaint process, a farm visit was conducted and the sample feed was tested by our quality assurance department. The results showed no unusual findings based on regulatory standards.
“We also recognise that animal health outcomes can be affected by several factors and we remain willing to work with the customer and relevant technical partners to better understand the full circumstances,” he explained in a statement.
“Any customers with any concerns are always encouraged to contact us directly so that the matter can be properly documented and investigated,” he added.
