Okay here goes. Does anyone here feed extruded feeds and what have been your results? Earlier this year I was feeding an extruded grain. One that I really liked. It smelled good and the horses went after it like they were starving to death it was so good. My mare who is currently thin still was in foal and she was getting the maximum ammount that she could get and be safe plus all the hay she could want. She was doing great on it. I had to stop getting it for a few reasons because of things that were going on. Now she is getting a feed that is simlar in calories only about 150 less and is not as good as she was on the extruded feed she was getting. From what I have researched the extruded feeds are easier to digest and are easier on the stomach. Its a bit harder for me to get but I am thinking about going back to it because she was doing rather well on it. She also had a shiny coat that was hard to get pics of it lol. She is coming around well on what she is getting now and I have been parnoid about her weight but she is still gaining steadily its just not all going to her topline yet. What she gets now is good stuff but the other feed she was getting just seemed to have more umph to it.
Here is her shiny coat on the feed she was getting earlier this year - birght sunny day so hard to get a pic but you can see in the areas where its red on how deep her coat got. That was after like 1.5 months on the feed. She shedded out to have that wonderful coat.
And this is her coat now - ITs pretty and deep in color but doesnt have that shine that it had ealier in the year.
