I've noticed my guy not drinking near enough water lately, so my BO suggested that he get some electrolytes added to his grain like the other horses.
I've been reading the forum and I see alot of people just use plain tablesalt (1 tsp) to the feed and that works.
I have had to give him a mix of apple juice/water to get him to drink before and I'll do it again if I have to .
However, should I start him on electrolytes or maybe just a tsp of salt with his grain am and pm? He does have a white salt block in his stall which he uses sometimes and he eats Buckeye Grow n Win ration balancer.
Just don't want to take a chance on colic from not drinking enough.
Thanks!
