Hi,
I have been experimenting with feed for my good doer cob x and am looking at starch levels. She has been fed a variety of feeds in the past & has done really well on some of them with higher starch but due to her workload reducing I need a lower starch feed.
I have tried her on Saracen Cooling Mix which is about 20% starch and that really gave her a good energy amount but unfortunately it made her very gassy.
They also do a FibreMix which is 14% starch but they didn't think it would give her enough energy for her workload as it's just a chaff and marketed as a convalescent diet.
I think somewhere between 15-20% starch would be great for her current workload and I'd have no concerns about hindgut problems on that amount.
Apart from Winergy Equilibrium Medium does anyone have any ideas please?
Thank you
