TwistedK - 2015-04-01 1:16 PM SG - which bluebonnet product are you feeding? I was just looking at their website and it is available in my area. Seriously considering it
Omega Force Intensify, it's in a black bag with purple writing. You MUST try this TwistedK....you will not be sorry!
Â
I will seriously look into it. I just did a cost analysis on 3 different feeds for 4 horses.
Alfalfa Pellets
Manna Pro Stabilized Rice Bran Pellets
Renew Gold
All I can say is out of those 3, Renew gold is the most cost effective.... but I want to compare the Intesify |

Okay why are you feeding manna pro stabilized rice bran pellets, when that is the main ingredient in Renew gold? Just curious
here is what I am feeding http://bluebonnetfeeds.com/department/intensify-omega-force-pellets/ |

Location: Beggs, OK | We couldn't make Renew Gold work for ours. We were having to feed the maximum that they recommend and still supplement. We have plenty of alfalfa and grass hay available and it just wasn't quite right for our horses.
We know now that we have a more significant issue with them as well, but the Omega Force is making a difference where nothing else has. |

I was looking at doing either Renew Gold or the Manna Pro but not both. I got a price on the Intensify Pelleted feed. Is that the same as the Omega? |

Posts: 9883
Location: Missouri | Okay so even though I've been around forever I guess I've never given much thought to a formula for feeding my horses. I'm referring to the 1.5 per 1200#. Is that the standard average measure for feed? All my life I've just given this one more because he needs more, and this one less because she's an easy keeper and gets fat.
I've never actually measured or weighed my feed.
All my horses appear to be healthy and look normal to me. I find this facinating and wish I had a clue as to how to determine the best nutritional value for my horses so that I get the most they can give.
Keep talking! |

| Bluebonnet also has several other kinds of feed that also are very good. I feed Omega Force (Intensify) to my barrel horse, but they have a cheaper feed that my young mare gained weight on while at the trainer's and she only received four pounds a day of it (along with alfalfa hay). |

 Omega Force is formulated so that you feed MUCH less than you would of most other feeds.  We are paying $20.95 a bag which would equal $838/ton.  For a 1,200# horse in intense training you would feed a maximum of 9# a day.  We feed them a free choice mineral and because of gastrointestinal issues caused by feed that was contaminated with ionophore cattle medication they also get the BB Transform DSI supplement to help them. Â
Under normal circumstances you wouldn't need to add anything to this feed.Â
I buy my Omega Force in Ardmore, next to the BB mill, and I pay $23.95/50 lb bag. I only buy 300 lbs at a time so get no cost break. |
