It would be nice to list as many feeds as we can - in particular the following are commonly used but its hard to find the ingredients, so if anyone can provide them...!
Blue Chip
Farriers Formula
Keratex hoof supplement
Formula 4 Feet
I was talking to a lady who uses Tesco Value curry powder (it comes in red and yellow flavours apparently) to flavour her horse's feed and hide the taste of any medicines.
I understand my link didn't work ... is there any way that I can make a word document available so you all can see it?!
(I'm not very I.T techy sorry! )
Maggie - someone (can't remember who, might have been Anni) advised me to squeeze all the soaking water out of the Speedibeet and then rinse it with fresh water for the wee lami lads.
I am a cheap skate and don't use speedibeet but ordinary sugar beet that I rinse to get rid of the mollasses until the water runs clear. I tried washing speedibeet and got a fair bit of mollasses out of it. More that I would have expected.

This is really interesting. People so often hear something about a supplement and repeat it without any evidence to support it. I was told Formula 4 Feet had added sugar and it was therefore rubbish. I use it and it has no added sugar and is a very comprehensive supplement, what I also like about the company site is that it tells you why it has included certain things in it. The more info they are willing to give the better, obviously.
I don't suppose any one supplement is prefect and can meet every horses' needs but the more info we have the better we can compare.

With the Fast Fibre does anyone know what grass meal is other than just grass, and how the straw is treated or what expelled linseed and expelled soya oil actually are?
Thanks
