Supplements - 1 feed or Split?

[Helga1980]

Those of you that feed supplements, do you feed them all in one feed each day (i.e. in the evening feed), or do you split them between morning and evening feed?

I don't split them because I can't rely on Fabian or Luis (grooms) to remember to feed them!! so I put them in the feed when I'm at the yard. Only sunflower seeds and vinegar though.

I always split them between the feeds

We always split them - best to do that if possble but as PF says, there's plenty of places that won't do that for you...

I split them between feeds too! One of the supplements I feed is cider vinegar and he WONT touch his feed if I put it all in one !

I split them between both feeds.

linx has his in 1 feed as he only gets one but a mare i had was on breath easy & d-itch & didnt like the overpowering smell so we started to 'soak the herbs for 10mins prior to feeding & we put them in seperate feeds until we could reduce the amount she received she was on 2 big scoops per day per supplement

I always split mine

I feed ours theirs in one go, as their supplements are in a balancer format, so it goes in their Snak-a-Balls, which they have of a nightime!

always split mine between too-i feed cider vinegar to my own and the smell is too overpowering for him if it all goes into the one feed.

Split mine into 2, have farriers forumlae, garlic, soya oil, balancer, sandstone

Thanks all, I'm spliting M's (D&H Breathe Free) as he's on 2 1/2 scoops of the stuff and is a little much in one meal. Just wasn't sure if each 'dose' of supplements had to be absorbed in one go.

I split them too. Although with one picky horse (who doesnt always eat all his feed) I add his supplements to a tiny bit of feed to give him first so he definately eats the most important stuff!

Yep me too, I always split so the taste is not too overpowering for them. Mine are on Garlic, Mint, Seaweed, Cod Liver Oil.
