Dates are marvelous additions to any horse's diet. Google search  
about them and you will be amazed at what an interesting food they  
are. But from what I've seen in the US, they are very expensive  
there. Our horses pig out on dates and we can get cheap mushed dates  
(agwa) that is used for cooking. But a probiotic is totally different  
from anything in dates.
