Feeding question.

[MilosDad]

Does anyone have suggestions for a high protein food for my big lad? I am wondering about soya or micronised barley.
Still not putting his condition on as he should. Currently fed Alfa-A, showmix and sugar beet with 2 scoops pink powder twice daily. Should be a fat kn***er with that lot!

how much forage are you feeding?

 

[AmyMay]

You may want to think of Alfa A Oil which is better for weight gain than straight Alfa.

But also how much are you feeding in each feed? Can you feed smaller feeds, but more often - say four times a day??

How much hay/haylage is he getting?

Saracen Releve has a high protein content and good for putting on condition

 

[elr468]

Both Saracen Re-leve and Equi-jewel have high protein- great for putting on condition

protein won't help him put weight on - well it will, but you'd be far better off increasing the calories in versus the calories out.

Full fat soya (masham micronized feeds (mmf who do speedibeet) do it in 25kg bags) is good protein and 18% oil, and brilliant for putting condition on!
