Suggest something other than outshine/ Equi jewel

[travelmad]

Anyone got an idea for something that should work similarly but cost less?!

Had no results previously with this horse with outshine, but have had him on Equi jewel for last 3 months and happy enough with it - except for the cost!

Thin tb, who struggles to put on weight, but is nicely muscled up and working well, 24/7 turnout in 2 acres, feed twice a day with : 1 scoop alfa a, scoop sugar beet, scoop body builda (graven horse product - high fibre, high protein mix), and then supplemented in both feeds with 250g Equi jewel

I want to keep the main feed as i have tried lots of different feeds but this is what he is going on best but continue to supplement with something to help fatten him up more

Any suggestions of something else I can try welcome if it won't break the bank! Have previously tried full fat soya, barley rings etc but didn't feel any did a great job

Linseed- do a search on here- loads rave about it. Great for weight gain and coats. Apparently doesn't make hyper either in general.

We use micronised linseed and fast fibre and cool and conditioning cubes from top spec over the winter on out thin tb, worked a treat. Now he's on the same but have moved to cool top spec balancer as grass is thru.

Equi Jewel is rice bran, a bit cheaper alternative would be Omega Rice.
Outshine is soya + linseed, so if that didn'tdo anything for you, not sure linseed meal would.
