In the warmer
weather, there were sprouted flax seeds in the manure piles
which tells me some of it is going through
unchanged.
I wondered about this. I feed whole flax seeds and saw a great difference
in my horse's coat and also his scurfy skin on his hind legs. I ran out of the
flax seeds about 2 months ago and just haven't bought any more. What I noticed
was that while they were on the flax seed, the mice would trample their manure
during the night. I didn't know why they were doing that until I ran out of the
flax seed and I notice the mice are not trampling the manure. So I guess that
means that the whole seeds were going straight through. However I am sure the
horses were grinding a lot of it better than I could do when they were chewing
it up.
