RE: Fat?

["Catherine Foster" <foster@unbc.ca>]

Since the fat discussion has been brought up, has anyone ever used Canola
Meal? To increase the amount of fat intake??  By a horse that loses weight
during conditioning no matter how much he is fed?  Worming/teeth/good
hay/vitamins & minerals/electrolytes/extruded feed all taken care of, but he
seems to need a little more....  A friend suggested Canola Meal 1 c. per day
up to a max of 2 c. during training months???

Thanks for any help with this one.

I remember a nutrition seminar given by the Farmland Nutritionist, and she
spoke of pelleted animal fat for horses.  I have never fed anything but
soybean oil.  I was wondering if anyone you know of ever used animal fat and
if perhaps that was the source of fat in the Purina Athlete being discussed
awhile back?  Just curious.  The animal fat of course looked sort of like
lard
which of course looked unappetizing to me.  Lovell
