Sounds great, i'm sure you've considered reducing or removing the oats for the one that is close to overweight? Probably more a case of increasing work than reducing carb intake but it may help. :) KF

Hi there, If you are looking to use Perfect Balance with this diet you would simplify it to grass nuts + Perfect Balance fed at a rate of 100gms per 100kgs of bodyweight. Perfect Balance is 12% Oil and contains micronised linseed as well as a full array of vits and chelated mins so no further...

Hi Terri, Interesting reading. A lick with everything needed for healthy hooves is an interesting prospect. As is the principle with licks I guess you're inferring that the horse will self regulate it's requirements. It sounds like you have a firm grasp on the nutritional requirements and...

Hi Ruth17, From our range a simple and effective diet is to feed Mark Todd Perfect Balance at a rate of 100g per 100kgs of b/w per day, along with a simple, non-molassed chaff. You can feed extra omega 3 in the form of Key-3 Oil at a maintenance rate of 30mls per day (1 pump). This diet...

Great thanks for letting us know :)

Hi jm2k, Thanks for this, feeding as if your horse has ulcers is a great way to feed. In fact if people fed all horses like that we would be less likely to see as many ulcer cases in general. Little and often, lots of fibre to keep them chewing. Horses can only produce saliva when they chew...

Thanks for this all looks very interesting and particularly your comment on how much starch and sugar they can handle in relation to how much work their feet do. :)

Thanks for this, a good high oil diet. You may find this online article interesting: http://keyflowfeeds.com/feeding-the-correct-omega-oils/ Yes there is certainly some goodness in the new grass - if the fresh horses out and about at the moment are anything to go by! :)

Thanks for this Cragrat, sounds like a good diet. We agree that full analysis should be made available for customers. We have a red box down the right hand side of each product page on our website http://keyflowfeeds.com that gives a full list of ingredients as well as a complete breakdown...

Hi Leg_end, It was great to read some of your story with Buddy. The x-rays certainly show an improvement so you definitely seem to be on the right track with him. Good luck for when you start competing. The horse in our radiographs was shod. BoneKare's active ingredient is Quinaquanone...

Hi maccachic, as promised further info on the xrays is posted above :)

Further info on these radiographs as follows: The two radiographs are of the same horse, taken on the dates listed below each image. They are of a younger German horse that shows on the first (LH) radiograph the location of the nutrient foramina is not only centrally situated but can also be...

Hi maccachic, We will get the background on these for you and post here in the next day or so :)

Thanks for the feedback, it sounds like a well balanced diet. For navicular, vets in Germany have had very good results using our bioavailable vit K1 product BoneKare - http://keyflowfeeds.com/product/bonekare/ Here's some before and after xrays - let us know if you would like more info on it.

Yes you're correct. As a feed company we only test forage for that reason, ultimately however the deficiencies are found in the soil. Given the substantial variation in most peoples hay/forage supplies feeding for averages is a good approach with the occasional blood test if any deficiencies...
