Brewers yeast

[scewal]

How much do you feed?
I ran out and didn't replace it for about a month. My mare become quite spooky and could really tell the difference.
But now she is back on it she is just so quiet, chilled and very very laid back. Maybe even a little lazy. Currently i feed one 30ml scoop once a day, does that sound too much?

I feed it along with micronized linseed and magnesium as the fields have been tested and are actully magnesium deficient.

Hi I use Brewers Yeast as well, I am using it because the B vitamins are supposed to reduce allergic/inflammatory responses so I am seeing if it helps his COPD. I feed 1 30ml scoop a day as well, I get mine from feedmark and that actually recomment feeding 50ml a day so sounds like you're fine.

All mine get a 25ml scoop a day, except the Shetland in summer gets 2 scoops a day to help with her sweet itch.

The rest range from 7mth old foal to 19yr old tbxwelsh

Between 30 and 50ml scoop seems about right. It smells so yummy!

hi i started feeding it for my boys skin,hes a nervous stressy lad the amount i feed depends on the weather more when windy and hot brillant stuff and have just found ,a place that i can buy 25kgs for fifty pound yrs supply

Mine came from Charnwood milling. Think i may reduce it to 25ml and see what happens.

Ohh... where do you get 25kg for £50? How well does it last? ie does it get damp?

I've usually fed 25g during winter/summer, and up to 50g in spring/autumn or if flies/midges are particulrly bad - works a treat

Try Charnwood milling Lego.

It comes in a lined sack and I'm still using some I bought two winters ago, it's as good as ever. I put some in a container and wrap the bag up very tight so the air can't get to it then keep that bag in a dustbin, just use the small container daily. http://www.charnwoodmilling.co.uk/mail-order/Horse_Food.html

I buy mine in 900g bag from natural horse supplies for a couple of quid (where I also buy my magnesium from)
It recommends 1-2 heaped tea spoons so my stressy mare gets 1.5 and my stressy youngster gets 1 lol.
I was thinking about getting a bag from Charnwood but was worried about it going off as I don't go through it that fast.

Sorry for being thick! Does this act as a calmer? We have some in the tackroom for the cat if she get fleas but haven't heard of it being given to horses too

For many it does and for some it's very good fly repellent but some it won't affect; you just have to try it to see if it helps or you need something else for those jobs.

Oh thanks.....I'll give that a try as a calmer.
