I've read a few threads about volume of feed in one go, I've a 14.2 with untreatable dental problems that I'm looking to improve the condition of a little.
Evening I'm feeding him 1/2 scoop(stubbs size) alfa A oil, 1/2 scoop barley rings, 2 cups micro Linseed and 1/2 scoop (soaked) speedibeet.
Now I know alfa A is absorbed in hindgut but clearly this lot is way more than a rugby ball so will all the linseed/ barley travel through his stomach before being absorbed?
Would I be better to do just barley and linseed then do Alfa A and speedibeet a couple of hours later on?
What is the real answer re weight of speedibeet that 'counts' I read a lot it's the unsoaked volume but I don't think all water will be absorbed in the stomach so how can that be?
Sorry if I'm being dense!
