Re: [RC] Purina?? - Laney Humphrey

Hi Paul,
I've used Purina Equine Senior for years (for my not yet senior horses). I switched to it for xp2001 because I knew there were Purina dealers all over the country. As I remember, even Strategy has some beet pulp in it which is why I haven't been using it. My horses find Eq. Sr. a very tasty vehicle for whatever I put with it, including lots of sloppy wet beet pulp at rides!

Speaking of feeds, I am in the process of changing feeds. If anyone has feedback on the following, please do.

My feedstore has become unreliable,so I am changing stores and hence have to change feeds. The new store is a Purina store. I guess they are all either Purina or Darigold, along with MAYBE some local feeds.

So, I used to feed an 11% protein, alfalfa based local feed with minimal sugar. I only feed 1-2 lbs a day mixed in with lots of wet beet pulp and vitamins and a Selenium and Vitamin E suppliment. The feed is more a device to encourage them to eat everything else.

I looked at two Purina feeds today:

Ultium and Strategy AX.

The Ultium was twice as expensive as the Strategy. The store clerk did not know why, and the printed materials did not help. The only real difference (aside from price) that I could tell was that Ultium has a lot of sugar and also has beet pulp. I can add my own beet pulp.

I decided to "try" the Strategy.

Comments???
