quick ration balancer question and feeding founder

BettyBootsy · 07-03-2008, 08:24 AM

Hey I have already ordered my feed for the month so getting Horse Go 32 is out of the question so I have 2 additional horses now to the herd. I'm taking them out to pasture today until I get my pastures baled and trees limbed up.

One is a yearling thats been on crapy Tindel sweet feed but she looks good so question for her is are all ration balancers the same or close enough for now and ADM or Purina is the get now bet.

So what do I get? The other mare is coming in next week possible foundered shes going straight to dry lot and feed suggestion? I've battled the hard keepers lately it's been a while since I have rehabed founder and I will get with my farrier on that but update me on any new research and help me with a feed plan please. We have only Prarie Hay which is fine more filler type hay. I'm feeding Triple Crown and Kent but have ADM and Purina closer. Thanks guys. How much do I start the baby (yearling) 600 ish lbs out on the ration balancer with the lush pasture? Shes Hotshots baby and I can't wait to get ya'll pics but last on my mind right now I'm on overload!

Proce wise I Think Purina is gonna be your best bet ... honestly after all teh research WE did on ADM I am not too sure I would be willing to feed it at all.. no good reports on it htat I have found in all my digging

Whats the new name of Purinas Born to Win? and what about feeding the foundered mare? Any special diet that would help? Anyone on any new research info anything?

From what I know from Katy Watts, ADM's ration balancer is GREAT for the metabolic horses. I can't speak for any of their other products. It's their "Metabolic" product, or something of that nature - not sure of that's their only ration balancer, but that's the one I'm talking about.

Enrich32 is the new name

JB on paper it looks great but I have talked to several people who have tried it and the horses either won't eat it and one had choke issues with it
