Best 'extra' for weight gain.

[Sparkles]

Would you choose, Sumo powder or just stick to micronised linseed?

Have used the Sumo with good results previously, but wondering if just solely linseed would do just as good for weight promotion?

 

[Izzwizz]

Don't know about either of those but if you want to put weight on then the Ready Mash Extra from the Soft n Soak range works really well.

Sumo has a higher calorific value but is twice the price. I'd stick with linseed!

 

[Sparkles]

That's what I feed him already Used to have him on that and the Sumo, but just been on Readymash Extra...but he was ill over xmas so just want something extra to put him on for 6 weeks or so.


I've never personally used linseed on him, only the Sumo before...so just wondered if anyone thought linseed has the same weight gain as obviously half the price If not, I'll get the sumo anyway...but just thought if the linseed did work just as good, then obviously I'd get that.

Thanks!

Can't rate saracen show improver pencils enough!

Anything I feed him, has to be of mash consistency. Not sure how well they'd mash down or if would alter at all if soaked? Open to any suggestions...but he's just a bit of a tricky one feedwise!

 

[JHC]

I always wet any feed and it does go soggy but not sure it would go to a mash though.

I don't have any other suggestions, sorry :-(

Equijewel did wonders on one of mine

I have been looking up that Vikki How much did you feed daily/how long did a bag last?

 

[EllieandGeorge]

Ready mash/fast fibre, speedibeet and micronised linseed! All mash and fab for weight gain

 

[Sparkles]

Fab

I'll try the linseed I think and see! Need beet for the coblet anyway so that can tie in nicely.

I can see the weight going on Amber with the micronised linseed, weigh day tomorrow. She had put on 10kgs the last time which made me doubt the last measurement. So I was extra careful last time. I am pathetically excited about tomorrow's one

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Sugar beet
Blue chip (blinking amazing!)
Barley rings
Linseed

I fed sumo but weight gain was at same level as when I was supplementing with full fat soya, so after forking out for 2 bags I decided it was not worth it if he is gaining anyway, it is so expensive. I was also feeding alongside ready mash extra. Think I will try copra when the soya runs out as have heard great reviews and it's not as expensive.

Oats are brillant and high in fibre too.

I have been really impressed with linseed for my poor doer.

 

[Delicious_D]

Linseed and lots of hay!

Try soaked grass nuts too; I've found Graze On to be the best, they are very good for weight gain but have nothing added, they're just grass.
