Brewers Yeast?

We give brewers yeast tablets (from Holland & Barrett) to our dogs that are on raw food diet to make sure they have those 'extras'. Although i have some in my barn I have never thought of using them on the horses! Looked it up and found this:

Brewers Yeast is the perfect natural source of a wide range of B vitamins, It has long been a favourite of horse keepers. Brewers Yeast is effective against the effects of stress, behavioural problems, anxiety, mareishness and travel stress. Its high quality amino acids encourage a healthy population of gut flora, ensuring better hindgut digestion. It also provides copper and zinc, and is particularly useful for hard working horses, lactating mares, anxious and problem horses.

It can help to improve feed palatability and aid in improved digestion of fibre in the horses diet. As it is high in Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), it can help to calm nervous & highly strung horses.

Feeding guidelines: 5 to 15 grams daily

Hope that helps.
 
I get mine from Charnwood too as I have a few but Westgate Gold Label also do it so find a supplier for Westgate stuff and they should be able to get it in for you; think it was about £9 for 1.5kg 2 years ago.
 
If you look at Naf's website, you will see the ingredients of Pink Powder is brewer's yeast, cal mag, unspecified vita and mins and flavorings.

They mix it, put it in a shiny box and charge you treble!

Most Naf products are like that - total rip off!
