Vegetable Oil?	Can't Post

I was looking at adding some fat every few days. I was talk to give 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to my horse every few days. Or should I look at a tack store to find a brand for this.

Any good vitamins out there. I like the liquids because I can poor it onto a few flakes and give it to her.

Look 4 threads below this one in the feed forum with the title "WEIGHT GAIN", it covers the use of veg oil as a supplement. I will try to add a direct link to this post

Thanks for the information. It's always good to check a few sources before trying something.

Uncle Buck and the others are spot on Tongue

adding 1/2-1 cup of corn oil to your horses feed is a good cheap source of fat- it will help make their coats glossy too Smile

excellent source of calories for the cold months and for hard keepers, or horses that get 'hot' on traditional diets

here is an artilce from North Carolina extension servce explaining adding fat to horses diet

as for vitamins- we like to use sho glo- its cheap, has a good ratio of nutrients, and they eat it right up with their feed- but like someone else has said- everyone has their favorites...

corn oil has worked well for me in the past, plan on using it for the winter months again this year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all
