[RC] Help from the nutrition boffins - Budler,Cindy - AfroxA friend has an arab mare of 23 years old who I suspect has the start of Cushings. She also has almost flat teeth. Her coat is long and dull- has been the whole of Summer, she has lost weight even though her food has been tripled, very sorefooted even with shoes. This mare has always had a very uncomfortable trot - very stilted and her feet are not great but they look worse now- big horizontal cracks etc. The vet did a full blood check but says not cushings but probably just the teeth. I still think cushings is the answer but his first answer to that was - "we don't see much of that". Anyway - I would like to increase her food /fibre intake without compromising what could be cushings. The vet suggested oats, lucerne and oil together with her normal sweet feed.Well I think lucerne and oats could be a problem without teeth and the normal sweet feed has mollasses in it. Can someone tell me how much I could feed of the following to balance the feed in the cheapest way without too much protein and sugar. Lucerne meal Rolled oats Oil and what else to balance the whole lot? Also quantitys???????
