Marmite??

[Hattikins]

We are going to give Hattie marmite to see if it helps her at all etc. but how much do we need to feed her? and how should we feed it?

thankyou!

 

[carthorse]

Don't know how much but I just dip my carrots in and put them in feed

 

[cariadssogreat]

Are you using marmite to get the brewers yeast effect?

 

[madgirl]

umm what do you feed them marmite for?

 

[amzy]

Marmite is good for sweet-itch sufferers. My large cob hardly suffered at all last summer since having a couple of teaspoons a day in her food (and wearing a good fly sheet).

stan gets a dessert spoon a day, seems to help a bit

 

[ru-fi-do]

Does it work out quite expensive though? A tub wouldn't last long would it?

Ours have a marmite sandwich thickly spread each day. Helped keep the bites down even with 2 ponds in the field.

You can buy them in huge catering buckets which works out cheaper- not from the supermarket though. Bert gets a desert spoon at tea time.

I get the kettle and boil it. get a teaspoon of marmite and twirl it round until there is none hanging off it- much the same as you would with golden syrup! Stick the teaspoon into a mug. Fill to the top with boiling water/ Watch it melt. Let it cool a little. Add to handfull of chaff and bob's your uncle!

Bon Appetite pony!

A pony a my old yard used to get a marmite sandwich each night and really help with his sweetitch.

I fed Marmite last year - I got fed up with getting all gooey and bought the squeezy jar, and put a squirt in his feed. But this year I have bought a tub of brewer's yeast, which will be cheaper and I understand has the same effect. He likes the taste. He liked the Marmite, too.
