We have 2 fillies - one 6.5 months one 5.5 months - both have been eating Winergy Growth absolutely fine - used 2 bags so far - younger one has been, till now a real gannett
Opened a new bag yesterday and the older one eating fine but the younger one will not entertain it, even with extra sugar beet, handful of pasture mix etc - she sniffs it then leaves it, won't even take a mouthful. Eating hay like it's going out of fashion though.
Any bright ideas or should we try her on another youngstock feed? Any suggestions as to what?
She is hanoverian to make 16.2hh and obv don't want to over cook her but on the flip side would like to ensure she has enough vits/min esp being so young.
They are out from 5:45am to 6:30pm daily on average grazing - swapping fields at weekend so will be on better grazing from then. Ad lib haylage (very dry, like a wrapped hay)
Edited to say - they were both wormed on monday, no scouring or anything since
Thanks
