Baileys Stud Balancer!

[rosebud]

Have been feeding Baileys Stud Balancer for a while now(about 4months)and this morning our 9months colt has had really hot feet, Although the vet didn’t visit he explained that it was more than likely to do with the floor being so hard with all the snow we have had. Due to the fact he was showing no signs of laminitis.

The only thing that was done differently last night, was he had free supply of hay. Could this have anything to do with it?

Now it has come to my attention that this could also be due to the balancer we are using as the soya can induce laminitis in some horses.

Has anyone else had any problems using this feed?

I use BSB and never had any trouble with it - we feed it in small quantities only to weanlings as we have very good haylage. It IS very high in protein so if you feed more than the smallest quantity you DO need to know what other protein your youngster is having and make changes gradually! When I changed haylage supplier and got this very bood batch I had to restrict it and feed extra chaff to make up the bulk - as they got the squits.
