Bit lost with all the choices out there so looking for some help. I’m after a lo cal forage replacer that’s good for encouraging loose sloppy poo, so I think I’d need to avoid anything too long-stem/indigestible or which has a very low water content. It would be fed instead of hay, so not looking for a small amount to give as a bucket feed or a complete feed.
Does such a thing exist?
Horse is currently on pretty much 24/7 grass turnout whilst he’s recovering from melanoma surgery inc on his bum. Has sloppy pink mash for his supplements and medication. We need his poo to stay really sloppy and loose. As he recovers and we move him back onto normal turnout (out day/in night) I’d like to try something that’s a mid way point before putting him fully back onto soaked hay. Vet said he could be on small amounts of soaked hay but after an emergency visit to the vet with colic/impaction, I’d like to try something else to help the transition! We’ll do the change gradually, and I’ll keep him on the pink mash, but after a traumatic few weeks and lots of vets visits, I want to be really careful and not just put him straight onto soaked hay alone. I’ll speak to the vets, and a few feed companies, but interested to hear hho recommendations too please.
