By calculating the EXACT quantity of culture flora (lactobacillus acidophilus)
per volume of the medium (Fast Track).  Then repeating the procedure in weekly
intervals.  Then the final verification came from calling R & D of Fast Track
to verify those numbers. :-)))))))))  Should have done that to begin with!!!!

 I have no experience with Dynamite products, though I know alot of
 people like it.  I've seen their brochure and basically just don't like
 it being pretty uninformative, but that's just me, I tend to be pretty
 suspicious of any supplement label that does give me alot of specific
 information.
 
 I also have never used any of the ABC products---no offense to anyone at
 ABC, but my only exposure to the company was one treatise on "nutrition"
 posted on ridecamp by someone from that company.  Suffice it to say that
 copies of that treatise (with names blacked out) are handed out as extra
 credit whenever I teach an equine nutrition class, with an invitation to
 find and discuss the mistakes in it, and back up their arguments with
 references.  So far, no one has found less than a dozen errors, and I
 think the record is around eighteen.  So I guess I have some
 reservations about recommendations from that particular source, but more
 power to anyone else that happens to like their product.

So, you are basically saying here, that you have not tried either product from
ABC or Dynamite??  

And the rest of this "piece" is in reference to.....what???  What does your
extra credit questions have to do with something that you have no knowledge or
experience with??  I am very confused on this issue!!!!!
