<< 1: I've heard a lot about beet plup and have a few questions about it most
particularly how much to feed? Daily? Byweekly? Weekly? Amount? ect?
2: Same questions for rice bran and the differences between the two?
3: Just some general feeding tidbits you might be doing? (a friend feeds
garlic to her horses and it seems to help with fly control)
4: What is the general opinon about Red Cell?
That is about all that I have on my list of Q&A for now. Sorry for any
repeats in the subject but feeding seems to be a rather opinion producing
subject.
Thanks Margie >>
I hope to be corrected and enlightened politely by others more informed, but,
here goes: I'd use a feed that has beet pulp already mixed in and balanced
rather than trying to do that yourself.
Rice bran is being used in horseracing for its anabolic effects. Within a few
weeks of starting a manufacturer-recommended dosages of something like Body
Builder or any concentrated rice bran product, you'll see the beginnings of
an increase in lean muscle mass due to Gamma Oryzanol.
I'd stay away from Red Cell. Iron is a powerful pro-oxidant and should not be
overfed. Serum Ferritin is the test for iron deficiency anemia. If your horse
is genuinely anemic, then go with a vet-controlled iron replacement.
