| I've heardent a lot of good things about of these. But if I was going to use it for ulcer maintenance, I would go with the Excel. |

| I am very interested in the Depaulo product as well! Looking forward to responses. Forco is really not designed as an ulcer prevent product. |

| I like the ingredients in Excel, but I have a hard time getting a horse to eat it. Ulcer horses tend to already be picky and with it being difficult to administer, I have never had a horse eat it consistently enough to know if it’s helped. I tried the applesauce, but still doesn't help much |

Location: Willows, CA | We get a lot of referrals from Mark DePaolo and that has caused me to pay more attention to his programs in return. Mark has a good common sense approach that involves a diet change along with therapeutic supplementation for specific ailments. As a result, we often end up working with the same horse owners. The people that I talk to who have used his products and recommendations seem very satisfied. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I don't know anything about Excel but I've fed FORCO since 2005 and it was after getting hind gut ulcers healed with THE GastroPlus and I would feed FORCO everyday and give GastroPlus when I hauled. Worked great for over 10 years. I like to keep it simple and I know what the FORCO does for me, our horses and dogs. |

Location: Where its cold and hot | I am a huge believer in forco! I've got one mare that can get a sensitive stomach since she has to run on lasix and forco has made a drastic change in her overall health. I've always treated her for ulcers but since I started forco the treatments are much further out, she has just bloomed.
A different mare we have is extremely hot, her mind is her own worst enemy. She is proven 1d and has $20K in earnings from her futurity year but She is very prone to ulcers. We bred her last year and kept her on forco throughout her pregnancy. She foaled end of February. The colt is roughly 16 days old and he is the size of a 1 month old. I am VERY impressed with forco. |
