I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3314 Location: Jersey Girl	FloridaPriss - 2015-10-13 7:34 AM I have never heard of the Omni cubes? I don't believe they are available in my area. Are the similar to an alfalfa cube.... size wise? I believe they are only available in the Mid-West region. I had inquired about them a while back and they weren't in my area either (Northeast). Really wish I could get them.....

All you feed is the Omnis Cubes right? Yes, that's where I have ended up over the course of the past nine months. We were feeding Bluebonnet Intensify feeds with our Omnis cubes until I realized that they really didn't need it....Then we saw that next step up with my daughters mare after we took her off of it completely. I have stronger feelings than many do about feed producers and their selective answers when addressing questions about their processes. ADM, Nutrena, and others have taken the "we are monensin free" route, rather than admitting that they use Lasalocid in their mills when I asked questions specifically about Ionophores. Once a horse's digestive system is compromised you start seeing many other ailments arise. EPM, ulcers, colic, body soreness, chronic inflammation, unexplained lameness, poor coat, poor appetite, behavioral issues, performance issues, and the list goes on and on and on. When the gut isn't functioning properly it won't matter what you feed the horse...he won't look better until you get the inflammation under control and the gut processing the nutrition that you're giving him. Disreputable feed mills keep vets in business...and provide a platform for the billion dollar supplement industry. There was a Blubonnet feed that was really similar to the Safechoice Perform...low starch, high fat, better for horses that "tie-up" but I cant remember which one it was. I had done a little research on it...BUT we didnt have anyone that sold it in New Mexico where I was living. I could probably get it now though. Have you done the research on Bluebonnet.....and can you tell me the difference in the Omnis Cubes and really good quality alfalfa? We have great alfalfa where we are...horses look amazing when not getting fed anything else...however I do like the extra energy that mine have with a grain. I have a horse that always looks like a million bucks when just getting fed alfalfa but when on grain he does perform much better and has been getting better and better the longer he has been on the Safechoice Perform. The BB feed you are talking about is X Factor.

The BB feed you are talking about is X Factor. I went and bought some Omega Force...horses seem to like it. I like knowing everything that is in it. I like the 12 percent fat. Its 24$ a bag here...but you dont have to feed as much of it so it works out in the end.
