[Jay89]

What senior feeds do you all feed?

 

[MANDM]

I feed Badminton Veteran Mix with Dengie Hi Fi to my oldies.Plus extra supplements ,oil etc to suit the age related problems they have.

i don't use veteran mixes, just dengie hifi and spillers hi fibre cubes and a splodge of oil!

Love Dodgson & Horrell 16+ - my 22 yr old does everything on 16+, Hi Fi Lite, sugar beet & pasture nuts. Highly recommend it!

i use my shop's own brand cheapo pony nuts and alfa a oil, i have never seen the old girl looking better!

I used to use 16+ mix on my old boy until he had trouble chewing, then i put him on high fibre cubes(soaked) and dodson and horrell's ultimate balancer.

D + H 16+, veteran chaff, sugar beet and TopSpec balancer for my 29 yo

Our 27 year old has Bailey's 16+ and also cortaflex as he has arthritis in his hocks. x

Spillers Senior Conditioning Mix & Afla A - I have a cob who thinks she's a TB diet wise. Did try the Splliers Conditioning cubes to save a few bob, but she had a complete personality transpalnt til I changed back.

Don't feed any mixes! Just basic feeds the old way! Chop, grass nuts, sugar beet and oats as and when!
Works great for our oldies and younger ones!

i feed spiller senior conditioning mix and i've never seen my old boy look so good

I don't as the high starch and protein worry me. I opt for a high fibre and oil diet for both my veterans. Alfa a Oil, topspec balancer and one of them has topspec conditioning flakes as he's a poor doer (they are very palatable). It also makes their feeds very easy to eat.

Was on D&H 16+, Alfa A, Sugar beet, Vits&Minerals, Codliver Oil, and Tripple Crown body building formula.
Now changed to TopSpec balancer, TopSpec Conditioning Flakes, Alfa A, Sugar beet for my 20yr old. Much easier.

I used to feed sixteen plus for my old boy but i have to agree with Kezza, had my knowledge of feed been what it is now i would have had him on topspec balancer and fibre with conditioning flakes (he was a TB)

I did find sixteen plus did the job thought but he was worked quite hard,

Thanks for all the advice! With your help and the vets we now have him on 16+ and sugarbeet.
