How do you know your horse has a B1
deficiency? Since B vitamins are produced in the equine hindgut as a byproduct
of fermentation, I doubt it.

supplements
Hi Susan
I read your comments on B1
supplementation, my gelding has a deficiency and I was advised to put him on a
calming supplement as it contains B1. Aside from the drawbacks, would a B1
injection be more suitable as I don't like giving all the other aditives in the
calming supplement when I don't need them. How much would be a safe dosage and
can I overdose this or is it safe.
