Hi guys, im trying to ration a horse for an assignment and want to feed sugar beet and barley. As i currently have none in my feed room and the local feed suppliers wont let me have a look on the bag... would anyone be able to tell me any of the following and who produces the feed please?? Some feeds have it on the bag.

(Mg) Magnesium (grams)
(S) Sulphur (grams)
(Co) Cobalt (mg)
(Cu) Copper (mg)
(I) Iodine (mg)
(Fe) Iron (mg)
(Mn) Manganese (mg)
(Zn) Zinc (mg)
(Se) Selenium (mg)
Vitamin A (IU)
Vitamin D (IU)
Vitamin E (IU)
Thiamine (mg)
Riboflavin (mg)

Trying to find it on the internet but it is proving hard. :) Any help would be much apprechiated.
 
There's no reason why they won't let you look on the bag. Go back and tell them you want to feed it to your horse but need to check to see if it's suitable as she's got allergies. They can't say no
 
Sugar beet and barley are straights and are unlikely to have this info on the bag - but I can check at work if you like and let you know tomorrow?
 
thanks that would be great. i was going to take a trip to another feed supplier and ask them. nah they wouldnt let me cause of health and safety of letting me in the wearhouse and they were all 'too busy' to get a bag for me to look at. I said i wanted to check cause i was feeding my horse (as this will be what im going to feed one of them anyway and would be interesting if im supplying everything.... but they just said to feed one thing with hay and add a vit and min suppliment. :P) .


any help would be great, not to worry if you cant find anything thought id just ask incase anyone had anything. :)
