hi,
I am looking at adding one or both of the above to my horses feed. He is currently on soaked grass nuts, thunderbrook base mix and chaff, linseed. He needs a bit of extra weight on him, and a bit more energy, though he doesn't look underweight at the moment.
He has also started hiccupping recently. Now, I know that could be ulcers. Vet has said it is not thumps, and to either scope, or try alfalfa. so I am going to mix grass nuts with alfalfa pellets, so he has a bit of alfalfa. See if it sorts itself out first, and if not then I will scope.
Hiccups can also be caused by calcium deficiency.
I have read up on sugar beet, and this is low sugar/starch, good source of fibre, and can sort out calcium deficiencies.
Coolstance could give him the energy he needs. but then so could the sugar beet. it would be the unmollassed type.
So, looking for a bit of advice, would you just use one and which one, or both?
