Built on Science, Proven on Farms
Purina’s legacy began in 1894 when William H. Danforth set out to redefine animal nutrition. Today, backed by Land O’Lakes and fueled by research at the Purina Animal Nutrition Center in Gray Summit, Missouri, the brand remains a leader in feed innovation. This 1,200-acre working farm isn’t just a testing ground, it’s home to over 3,000 animals, where nutritionists study real-world performance daily. The result? Feeds tailored to the specific needs of livestock, poultry, and horses, designed to tackle challenges like Ohio’s variable weather and forage quality.
What makes Purina stand out at Reiterman Feed? It’s the rigorous quality control behind every bag. The Purina FeedGuard Nutrition System tests each batch to ensure consistency, rejecting thousands of tons of subpar ingredients annually. Customers tell us this reliability gives them confidence, whether they’re feeding beef cattle for market or prepping show animals for the Madison County Fair. Our shelves are stocked with Purina products suited for local farms, from All-Purpose Cattle Mineral for year-round herd health to Layena crumbles for consistent egg production. And with our delivery options getting the right feed to your gate is seamless.
Powering Beef Cattle for Profit and Performance
Beef cattle farming is a cornerstone of Madison County’s agricultural heritage, and at Reiterman Feed & Supply, we know that top-quality nutrition is key to thriving herds.

Purina’s Wind and Rain Mineral program is a standout choice, formulated with balanced minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and zinc to support growth, reproduction, and resilience against Ohio’s variable weather. Research from Purina’s Animal Nutrition Center shows that proper mineral supplementation can improve weaning rates by up to 5% and reduce health issues, lowering vet costs. Products like Purina Accuration Range Supplements help cattle efficiently convert forage, maximizing gains on Madison County’s pastures. For producers preparing cattle for market or the Madison County Fair, Purina’s High Octane Supplements, such as Power Fuel, deliver show-ready results with enhanced muscle development and coat shine that meet buyer expectations.

Fueling Equine Excellence for Every Rider
From trail riders to competitive showmen, horse owners demand feeds that keep their animals in top form. Purina’s equine line, a staple at Reiterman Feed, delivers just that. Customers frequently mention how products like Purina Strategy and SuperSport have elevated their horses’ performance. These feeds, developed using Purina’s Microbiome Quotient platform, prioritize gut health with prebiotics and targeted amino acids, leading to better digestion, shinier coats, and sustained energy.
One local equestrian told us about a gelding that struggled with stamina until switching to Purina’s Strategy line. “He’s got more spark now, and his recovery after rides is faster,” they said. Another customer, prepping for a county fair, credited Purina’s WellSolve for helping their mare maintain ideal weight without excess starch. The free 60-day feed trial we offer through Purina has been a hit, letting horse owners test products risk-free. And who doesn’t love the Peppermint Treats? They’re a barn favorite for rewarding hardworking horses.
