Kalmbach Feeds
Hallmark Feeds is proud to have partnered with Kalmbach Feeds for 10 years. Headquartered in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, Kalmbach Feeds was founded in 1963 by Milton and Ruth Kalmbach. Their son, Paul, is the current CEO. They have provided us with reliable, prompt service for the entire time we have worked together.
We began using them for our guinea pig feed supplier and have gone on to include their Tribute line of horse feeds in our line-up. We keep a number of their feeds stocked at our mill, and usually get a shipment from them every two or three weeks. If you need to order a specialty Kalmbach or Tribute feed, we can have that brought in on the next delivery. Please be aware that we need to have an entire truckload delivered at a time, so your order may be delayed until the order is large enough for a full load.

Feature:
18% Guinea Pig Pellets
After providing a standardized guinea pig pellet for a number of years and listening to customer feedback, Hallmark Feeds worked with Kalmbach Feeds to produce a customized pellet available exclusively from Hallmark at a comparable price to other guinea pig pellets that do not have the extras that we have.
Firstly, our pellet has been fortified with stable Vitamin C. Many other pellets will add Hi-C to increase Vitamin C levels, however this is an unstable form and will quickly breakdown and provide minimal benefit to the animals. Vitamin C prevents Scurvy, which is common among pet rodents as they do not often get enough fruits and vegetables. Scurvy can eventually kill the animal and will increase the likelihood of disease among a breeder’s population.
Second, we have minerals to suppress Ammonia. Ammonia is a common problem in guinea pig houses, as the large population in an enclosed space will soon produce an overpowering amount in their waste. Our additive will help resist this. Ammonia buildup is unpleasant for anyone working in the enclosure, as well as the animals. It can also cause lung damage to smaller animals, like the guinea pigs themselves, and suffocate them, as well as increase their susceptibility to pneumonia.
Note: While this addative helps, it will not fully remove the Ammonia. Proper ventilation and temperature control are always the most important way to release dangerous gases.
Third, we have Diatomaceous Earth added to the pellets. It is an all-natural dewormer that works by sending microscopic shards of minerals through the animal’s gut. The Diatomaceous Earth does not affect the animal itself in any way, but the shards are sharp and will cut and irritate the parasites that live in their system. This encourages them to let go and evacuate from the animal.
Tribute Horse Feeds
Hallmark Feeds started carrying the Kalmbach Tribute Horse Feed line in 2017 and its demand has only grown since then. It is a full range line that is perfectly formulated to care for the needs of any horse, from overzealous yearlings to aging athletes and harworking competitors. Tribute feeds is truly one of the hidden gems of the horse world. When fed appropriately, it will beat any other brand in quality, price per feeding, and results in the animal.
