How is your French... need opinion on this low energy food

[Casey76]

I would translate it, but it would take me forever This product is ment for EMS/cushings/laminitic ponies and i am looking for a cereal free feed to put my supplements in. This is the closest I've found so far, but the nearest stockist is over an hour away so I'd like some opinions before I trundle off to have a look for it!

Hi there. My French isn't good enough but I suggest you contact Jo Bower at Horsesource. She is an equine nutritionist and knows everything and speaks French. Jo's email is horsesource@btconnect.com. Tell her that Kaite Worlock has given you her details - Jo and I work together. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

I think this is the same feed sold in the UK. It's made by a german company St Hippolyt and distributed over here by HandF feeds. It does starch and sugar levels both individually below 5%. Hope this helps. http://en.hippolyt.com/products/complete-feeds/30-equigard

I am in France and feed a lamintic, D&H Safe and Sound with non-molassed S/B.

I am in Maine et Loire, our monthly feed order is shipped from Normandy to Sable sur Sarthe. D&H have a huge feed order coming into France every month. Our supplier is the chain Gamme Vert but if you contact D&H they will tell you if you have a local supplier.

Thanks everyone, especially Rocky01. you know what is really frustrating??? the nutritional differences published in the English literature to the French.

I'm currently feeding the Pre Alpine hay cobs, and nearly fainted when I saw that the DE was 10.5 (in the French lit), now in the English lit, it says the DE is only 8.9, which I would be happy to keep feeding... if it is the same feed why the differences?

Grrr!

 

[Rocky01]

I don't get that either. I just looked at the danish figures and they're 7.9. the only thing I can suggest is to call st hippolyt direct or the french distributor and ask about the discrepancies and which one is correct. However it may be to do with the year as well so check what the levels are at the moment. C
