New Poll - Important #poll-notice
|
As you all know, we do not consider fructan - a component of NSC and WSC - when evaluating the likely safety of a hay but recommendations to limit NSC rather than ESC are still very common elsewhere.
If you have a hay analysis and are safely (no laminitis flares) feeding the hay, please answer the question: What is the NSC of your hay? [NSC = WSC + starch]

Do you want those of us who soak our hay to respond with our “after soaking” numbers?

No recent tests but put in a vote for over 12% using hay analysis for a time when my mare tested as compensated IR.

Just a reminder here that we do NOT want your ESC + starch number. This poll wants to know WSC + starch, which is NSC.

Just a note to encourage everyone reading this to consider taking this poll and as a reminder, you need to add WSC and starch to get NSC.

Dr. Kellon, ever since Chappie was diagnosed I've had to buy hay from several different sources to get enough each year. Out of 6 different hay loads from 2017 thru 2020, there were 3 with WSC + Starch over 10%. Would
you like separate votes for the 3 above 10% and one to represent the below 10% loads? Chappie has been fine with all of them.

Although this year's hay is reasonable - NSC is 11.5% (ESC 8%) - last year's hay was high at 15.2% (ESC 6%) and no laminitis issues.

It won't let me vote more than once, so I used the over 12% hay vote.
