Super codlivine

Hi, not the answer you were looking for, but I use ordinary Codlivine .
Try 4 dobbin for good prices.I rate this product as a good general all rounder.
 
It's meant to be an all round vitamin supplement with added ingredients for joint health (evening primrose oil, msm and glucosamine.)
 
It is a supplement. It is the only supplement I have ever fed to any of my horses and it gives them the most marvellous coats. It is high in fat and fish oil based though, I know a lot of people don't like to give their horses animal based products on account of them being herbivores.
 
Okay, the point of my asking is cos I feed TopSpec Lite balancer, but need to also feed cod liver oil and a joint supplement. I find the CLO in oil form utterly repulsive as it gets all over everything and makes my hands, clothes, the feed room smell fishy >gak<. So I want to cut out the joint supplement that I was feeding, stop using the oily stuff and just feed the Super Codlivine as it has the joint supplements as well...and then it occurred to me that the balancer might be redundant if I'm using the Super Codlivine. If the Super Codlivine is giving him everything he needs, would I be right in just cutting off the balancer?

I have used it for years, its a joint supplement not a balancer so if feeding less than recommended amount of feed, use a multi vit and mineral supplement too :)

This is taken from Battles website, it is a complete supplement, you will be over supplementing your horse if adding an additional multi vitamin!

Thank you ---that's kind of what I thought. I rather thought that there might be a bit of a duplication in the two products, but the SCL has more of what I need
 
its an allround supplement that seems to work well, has made a big difference to my wee loan pony as he is more willing to work as he isnt as stiff since he's been on it, my other horse has only just started getting it as an allround supplement so will see if it makes a difference
 
Wow, thanks for the responses. Glad to hear that it's a good one to use. I was basically advised by a nutritionist to use cod liver oil as a supplement good for Insulin Resistant. Now, my boy isn't IR, but I did have him tested for it and EMS as I was really struggling to get weight off. Anyway, she did up a nutrition recommendation, and this was part of it, just in case kind of thing. So after using it in oil form, and just being really grossed out with the oily-fishyness, I decided to try it in the powdered supplement, and went for the super one cos of the joint supplement so I could cut out some of the extra stuff I was buying.

Anyway, only on our first tub of the stuff...and it seems it may save me a bit of cash, too. :D
 
I started feeding this to my horse about 2 weeks ago and have already noticed a difference in his schooling much more supple and his coat is looking fab!
So would definately reccommend.
