Weight gain

[mollywestern]

I have noticed recently that my 16.3hh thoroughbred cross has lost a bit of weight. The only down side is due to an old injury his legs tend to swell when he is stabled so a feed with a low fibre content would be better. He is currently on senior mix, chaff and micronised barley. Can anyone recommend the best feed?

Meant to say low protein not fibre, my mistake

You could try adding in Linseed to his diet most feed stores now sell it, about a meg a day will prob be enough for him!

My horse is prone to lymphangitis so I'm always cautious of what I feed him but currently having great results with Alfa-A Oil chaff & Top Spec Senior Balancer in with his Gain Cool mix & some beet pulp Put on weight very easily with it with no adverse affects!
