Hi;

 

Your feed store should be able to order.  I am in Canada and work for a vitamin and minera premix company.  We have whey powder, whey permeate and also whey protein concentrate.  I don't know  which one you would want, but these products should be readily available, maybe you will have to request your feed store to order it in for you.

Subject: RC: protein source

I am interested in whey as a protein source.  I use COB and it is only 8% protein, so I want to add some protein not change my grain.  It is a straight grain mix with no additives or molasses.  I add my own supplements, and I don't know the % of protein of my hay, but it is orchard grass or timothy, no alfalfa.  I have found whey in the health food store, is this what I would use for the horse?  I have not seen any at my feed store.  I understand from another list that whey is an extremely good source of protein.  As the ridecamp gruru on nutition I would value your opinion.  Thanks, Louise
