RE: [RC] Calories for your $$$ - Jeanie Bartson

Sorry, It is never very clear to me what approx. is a scoop?
I have cup scoops and a large quart scoop.
I also have used LMF Prime, Rice Bran and Beet Pulp to bring my mares
weight up in addition to having more grass hay available.
(I haven't used #5 All in 1 or Cool Calories- hopefully someone will
know if these are good)
She's doing great now, no weight problem.
I did add a bit of fresh corn oil (1/2 cup) which is OK in the short
term, but my vet does not recommend using corn oil in the long term as
they say it may cause the body to not absorb certain needed nutrients
which may cause an imbalance. I only used the corn oil for a few weeks
and once she started putting on weight I added 1/4 cup fresh ground flax
seed as a supplement instead.  It's not cheap and kind of a hassle, but
it seems to work great.

Sorry I am not much help, but it sounded like a lot of feed if you are
using a big scoop.

buck in calories.  He is getting 5# All in One, two
Manno Pro scoups of beat pulp, 2 scoops Cool Calories,
two scoups of LMF senior plus free feed grass hay in
the am and 10# of Oat Alfalfa cubes at night. Rice
Bran or corn oil added?
