I like to believe the performance and recoveries are better.. and that is not
really proven.. I do believe there can be a problem with molasses feed during
a race.. sugar high then low.. of course some of the things we feed during a
race can produce the same effect.
cost of buying grains seperate is higher.. wounder why sweet feed is cheaper
then good steam cleaned oats and clean corn?? maybe a quality thing here.
also consider most seet feed has some form of 'supplement' pellet added.. i
prefer to select my own additive from a mfgr who makes the stuff.
watch purina athelete in hot humid rides.. i did have problems with recovery
when using that supplement. its in omelene 200 also.
if i were to use a mixed feed i would get all grain.. no pellets and most
likely use a major mfgr like purina.. and as stated b4 keep protein low 10%
on grown horses.
