Location: midwest mama
Some of the supplements I feed are powdered and I need some suggestions on how better to feed them. Right now I mix them with some "all-in-one" (which is ground up alfalfa meal/molasses) so they will stick but I would prefer to stay away from the molasses. I don't feed grain - just a pound of alfalfa pellets with the supplements.
Anyone have any other good techniques to feed powdered supplements?

Soak the pellets. Mix well.
Ditto. Even if you didn’t want to soak all the pellets, soak a cup or 2 and mix the powder in. If they’re strongly flavored you might try a squirt of healthy coat or DAC oil and mixing that way.

Yes soaking is the very best way and a great way to hide the ones that have a strong smell-joint and lung ones seem to be the smelliest. Even if you just wet it a little, some horses don't like the soupy mush.
