I have an urgent need to know what should the NFC rating should be in hay for cushing horses. I have two, and I have an anayliss that says the NFDC is 17.2, other sugars and carbs are below 10.0 is

I too had to resort to Roundup this spring because it was too cool and wet for the vinegar solution to work but the grass was growing very well. Connie and Falki Manitoba Aug

Hi Group, My horse was recently diagnosed as non-IR PPID. I would like to have the mineral balancing done and, in preparation for that, will have my hay analyzed with Equi-Analytical. Can anyone

Where you live, it'll probably be just fine. Where I live clipping now is bordering on too late in the season for them to have enough hair grown back before winter to not need a blanket at least for

Hi LJ, I happen to be online so ill offer this: As long as you're willing and able to blanket as necessary come winter, then its perfectly fine to body clip now. Our horses here in NY have already

I read archives and it seems appropriate to clip at this time. thanks.

Jesse was full bodclipped on June 06, 2015.. We are having some heat here.. 98 degrees, etc and I notice some light sweating.. Could be part of seasonal rise as well. June 06 was his first body

Hi LJ Not going to make the decision for you. Will tell you what I would do given his history: Monitor his symptoms like a hawk and if your gut is telling you to go up, then do so. We are not there

Thank you, Lavinia, for your feedback. I'm glad we are on the right track. Ford is completely out of boots and moving much better, thanks to your guidance. Many thanks! Fran, Ford and Tinker in

hello, yes its me again, Ive gotten a little use to the maggots, still don't like them. this is the 3 day and in her reg hoof I had a lot that came out, I would say 50 to 100 or maybe more.. club,

Hi Thank you,Bonnie for some reason jasper has become ultra sensitive to just small amounts of grass or weeds. So i have to kill all grass & weeds from corral and fence line in one time. He's comes

Hi Corrine, After using salt and 10% vinegar, and finding the grass came back in 3 weeks, I resorted to Roundup. I roped off a section at a time, and kept Lad off treated areas for a week or 10 days.

Dr. Kellon, When shipping frozen serum cross country packed in ice overnight, it still might thaw some but still stay chilled. Would that be detrimental to any of these tests: KSU iron panel, ACTH,

My feeling is that I should increase now to 3.0mg.. but I'd prefer if the experts here can make the decision for me.. thanks Expand Messages lj_friedman Jul 24 Jesse's labs

The serum for KSU's iron panel has to be handled exactly the same way as samples for ACTH - separate ASAP, decant into plastic tube, freeze and keep frozen during shipping. Eleanor in

Hi Thank you Nancy, what does everyone here do to keep your IR, PPID horses from eating every blade of grass that pops up?? Jasper has the art of snaking his head under fence to eat every little bite
