Good morning, Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on other pain alternatives to try? Ribbon if off NSAID's now, but I cannot get her to eat the Phyto-quench with DC, I bought the granular

After receiving your message, Deb, I just tried to vote as well, and got the same response. It may be their server is extra busy. Will try again later. Perhaps as if not more important through, is to

Sue, the way you feed hay is the same as "As Sampled," meaning "as is." That's how we feed our horses, so that is the result we use. The difference between "As Sampled" and "Dry Matter" isn't a matter

Start with less than a full dose. Feed before you give hay, when your horse is hungry. Mix it with your horse's favorite taste-tempting ingredients. From the Files, the Picky Easters Checklist.

-- I know you add ESC + starch, but when you get your hay analysis back from equi-analytical, there are two sets of numbers for each mineral, vitamin etc one column of numbers is under the heading

Oh okay! Thx so much Sherry. No IR horse, Ms. Tailight is PPID, but will still do the wet chem. :) Thx and happy Monday! -- Sharon Bice December 2020 Sandia Park, New Mexico Taillight's Case

Hi Sharon, That's nothing new as far as EA pushing NIR over wet chem. You do need to bear in mind that if you have a non-IR horse the 30% difference we've seen in some tests may not be a big deal.

We always look at the 'as sampled' column, not the dry matter. Thanks, Sherry and Scutch (and Scarlet over the bridge) EC Primary Response PA

Over the years we've had members test side-by-side NIR and Wet Chem and found up to 30% difference in results. I just did the same with my current crop. The NIR ESC result was 26% less than Wet

Hi Nancy! A very friendly lady at Equine Analytic labs just told me their lab person is writing a scientific article (sorry not sure of the exact wording) about how NIR has usually so similar results

Thanks, Sherry -- I was referring to those feeds on the "safe feeds" list, (such as TC Timothy Balance Cubes and Nuzu Stabul1), and which values should we be looking at: "As Sampled" or "Dry

My horse won’t eat the photoquench any tips ? -- Tamra Williamson lexington KY 2022

Hi Sue, Those are the numbers I use as well. ESC + starch is what I believe you meant to say. -- Martha in Vermont ECIR Group Primary Response July 2012 Logo (dec. 7/20/19), Tobit(EC) and

-- I have my hay tested by the wet chem method at Equi-analytical. I have always checked the esc + sugar values in the first column, % as sampled. Is this correct or should I have been looking at the

Has an equine in your life been helped because of the work of Dr. Eleanor Kellon and her volunteers from the ECIR Group? If so, we’d be grateful if you would share your appreciation for her by

Hi Susan, As he's early PPID (only positive on the TRH test, not on just a baseline ACTH) any medication change at this point would be a guess. You can certainly test his glucose/insulin and ACTH now

Hi Amy, As noted, this is the Commercial Feed Analysis Library, NOT the safe feed list. It's just a way for people to look up feeds that they may be using or thinking of using to see if they might be

Hi Susan IME you can work to control pergolide during seasonal rise, but you are chasing the goal. If you want to see where he is right now I would test Insulin, Glucose and ACTH asap. If he were
