Hello, I managed to get some hoof pics of Sahara tonight since I was washing her feet so I can put medication on her non-existent frogs... no wonder the poor girl is sore. She's due for a trim next we

http://equi-analytical.com/interactive-common-feed-profile/ That's the site I found the data.. I just selected grass hay but now that I look at it there's no specification of what area the hay comes f

As I stated before we buy from multiple places and it would be a waste of money to test one batch of hay from one supplier if I have to go to one or more of the other suppliers next time I buy hay.. I

Ok, but I don't understand how that affects the results I posted? I'd like to know how to interpret the results so I can determine what's high and what's low... I found the page again where I got this

I don't know if they're dm or af. I found them online when I was searching for average grass hay nutrient values for my area... it's not feasible for us to test our hay since we get it from many diffe

Is this a good quality hay to feed to my old mare? What would be needed to balance this hay? I still have to update my CH but no way to do it yet. % Dry Matter 92.281 % Crude Protein 10.864 % Lignin 5

Thanks so much for clearing that up everyone! I'm curious now though... if I'm only feeding about a pound of the hay cubes as a carrier for meds does the horse get any benefit of the added minerals an

The caution paragraph is where it states it.. at least the way I understand the way it's written. It says that 1 pound contains 0.2ppm and then goes on to say that added selenium shall not exceed 0.3p

Good point Lorna! One thing I noticed though with regards to the label on the bag of hay cubes you linked. Now I'm paraphrasing of course but in one part it mentions the fact that one pound of the cub

You know, it makes you wonder why there hasn't been an effort made on the part of a feed company to develop a feed that is safe for our four legged friends... instead of having to design a feed on our

Paula, I can't figure out how to send a private message thru here lol... not very tech savvy I'm afraid... I'd love to get in touch with a different vet that might be willing to help me save some mone

Hi, I'm curious if there's any point in using AAKG & Jiaogulan for my old mare that isn't getting pergolide? The price of the prascend med are just too much right now but I think we can afford the oth

Be grateful your vet will do what he does.. mine will only sell me the meds he carries and not write a script at all! He sells prascend tablets at almost double what I'd pay through valley vet and qui

That's what I figured.. thanks!

This is probably going to sound like a silly question but never having used beet pulp before I don't know what they're supposed to smell like. The bag I just bought from the feed store this past weeke

Hello again everyone, I've been lurking and reading here as well as doing other research and I have a few questions. I tried my mare some beet pulp as a test tonight and it turns out she loves it so n

Thanks for all the replies! I was reading thru what was tested and I know that selenium it can be toxic at certain levels so I was wondering about the hay analysis not including it. It's funny you men

So I'm wondering if I need to pay that extra money to get the selenium checked or if we just assume it's low based on local soil tests?

This might be answered somewhere already but I couldn't find any reference to it in the bit of searching I've done. The area we currently live is known to have very high iron but low selenium in the s

Thanks so much Maggie! Yes, I did see that comment on my other post and that's actually what I explained to my vet.. hopefully he'll be more likely to write a script for compounded pergolide once I sh
