[RC] corn oil reference in article - Sheila_LarsenOk I only preused the article but the statement about the omega 6:3 ration was in relation to the statement of a horse being on a "corn diet". I don't know what his definition of a "corn diet" is. I also don't know what their definition of "high amounts of corn oil" is. I know that many horses are fed several pounds of corn daily and do very very well (they were actively used lesson horses not endurance horses). They looked good, didn't have high high energy and never coliced. With that said many endurance riders feed a cup of corn oil a day with no adverse effects. I think the article was a little vague and didn't add much to my store of knowledge. If you are feeding a cup of corn oil a day and your horse seems fine, I wouldn't change anything on the basis of this article alone. Of course this is coming from a person who looked at her horses last summer and thought - Man my horses have shine coats they look great. Then I thought mmm I think that is the Wipe flyspray I am admiring........ I think I laughed out loud in the barn. geez louise no brains no headaches... “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Mark Twain F'^qƬzqwnxi0ݺqߢ*'>bs Zgi0ݺqbun+R{.n+ 0zwnzwyƦhڲbuuy& |
