[RC] Probiotics Use - Roger RittenhouseYes all the time. I mix it in with the feed the same day I give the wormer. I use the cattle Ivermeticm most of the time but this time I bought the equine ORAL liquid from my vet - it cost me about $10 more..but I have to support my vet? :)) I give ABC PROBI for at least 3 to 4 days after. If and when I do the stongid purge I give it everyday and at least 4 days after the 5 day purge. I have however choose NOT to do the purge thing this year .. Last year my older mare had a very slight case of colic on day 2.. not sure why but since I do the Ivermectim 3 to 4 times per year and then start the daily wormer in the late winter.. I think my program is adequate. Post note - in over 15 yrs of using the daily wormer I have had NONE zip zero - performance related issues due the use of this product.. I even had one horse scoped to set aside the 'cause' for a colic DNF.. he had NO stomach related issues.. UT BIG ORANGE staff vets think there is NO proof what so ever related to 'performance problems' when using the daily wormer.. its an 'equine myth' just BS or HS bunk. NO real SCIENCE behind the 'suggestions' by a few... From: Val Nicoson <sweetmare55@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: How many of you use a Probiotic after using a dewormer and/or doing the Purge on your horses? What are the pros and cons of using a Probiotic after deworming/purging? How soon after worming/purging do you use the probiotic? Any kind of probiotic better than others and if so which ones? -- Roger mailto:roger@xxxxxxxxxxx =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
