Re: supplement feeding

Hi Casey
Reading labels and talking with the companies themselves is the best way to get started. Looking for things like "Ferrous" and "Manganese" on the labels. Learn the lingo. Look up what you don't know. With some companies you can get them to tell you what the average iron is after processing/completing the product. How much that is going to affect your balancing can vary. (See Dr Kellon's post from today) Dr Kellon had a good blog on reading labels: Deciphering Labels
Most supps have been discussed here many times. You can find a lot in the archives or come here and ask and we will point you. You are okay with Movease. The best defence is knowing what is in your diet (ie testing your hay) and balancing tightly from there. Nancy C in NH ECIR Moderator 2003 FACT: With knowledge of the nutrient profile of the forage and the animal's weight and level of work, one can supplement only what is needed to target nutritional needs.

into these calculations? Is there a way to know if a product might
contain herbs or other substances with iron or herbs or other supplements with
anti inflammatory properties similar to NSAIDS. |
