Considering feeding brewers yeast to my mare for her skin and coat, nothing wrong with it just think she could benefit form some help.

What are peoples experiences with it good or bad ?

Thanks in Advance x
 
One of myine reacted very badly to it. She did have sensitive skin anyway but the BY caused her to break out in lesions with little scabs in them all over her back legs and undercarriage. It took a few days to clear up after I stopped feeding it to her.
 
I use it for all of mine and really like it , I use it with linseed and they all have lovely glossy coats and great hooves
 
Started giving it to a horse that suffered from sweet itch, along with salt and linseed. He got through the summer much better than usual, and looked great, so I feed it to all of them now
 
I feed it every day. I have only had palatability problems with some coarse stuff from Czechoslovakia made from sour beer.

It has two anti inflammatory effects on the gut, one damping down inflammation and the other preventing it from happening in the first place.

When the sour stuff arrived, one of my horses went footie, but the other was fine.

If your horse doesn't like the taste yea-sacc will do the same and is feed at 15g a day instead of 50g because it's a live yeast. More expensive though.
 
I feed it to all of mine,have done for years, I buy a 25kg bag from ebay as im feeding 4, and I really like it.and do the horses.
 
I feed brewers yeast daily as was recommended it to settle my mares belly (not ulcers) as she would poo until it ran out of her on hacks. I call it her anxiety belly when she gets wound up.
Never heard it being used for skin and coat but i feed oil as well and she's in fab condition. She can be a fussy eater but never turns her nose up at BY.
 
I feed it to my 23yr old Warmblood and since feeding it he has stopped rubbing his teeth along his door and stable walls. I think it had soothed any tummy issues he may have had. He doesn’t chew wood as much in the field either.
 
I feed it to a pony with quite bad sweet itch. I don't know if it's made any difference as it's my first year with him and he's also covered with lotions and potions.

I keep using it because it's a cheap supplement. He hated the taste so he also has mint in his feed - which he loves. He has a nice glossy coat but he also has Benevit from Feedmark which is good for the skin and coat.
 
I feed it to a warmblood mare that rubs her mane and tail. Stop feeding it, bye bye mane and tail, feed it again and no more rubbing mane and tail re grow. I do not forget to feed it now!
