Location: Kentucky | I love it. I've been feeding it for a few years now. I get it from BB nevertooold. I feed two ounces a day to all of my horses. I feel like it keeps their bellies happy. I boarded my broodmare for about two months and forgot to bring her FORCO. When I picked her up she just looked kinda crappy. Maybe it was being away from home, other factors, etc, but about two weeks home on her FORCO, she bloomed again. I won't be without it. |

Location: South Central Florida | I love the stuff. My story. . .we have a gelding, 27 now. We have owned him since he was 5 years old. Built like a tank, Bay Tobiano. Fat as a tick his whole life. He suddenly started losing weight and he was wormed, fed good feed, tons of grass and or hay 24/7. He became so thin he was a skeleton. We did blood work, and teeth. Could not find anything wrong.
I made the heart breaking decission that I could not spend tons of money to find out what was wrong, when I knew, with his age, I could not spend the money to treat it. So I decided to just keep him as long as he was eating and appeared to be pain free.
A friend suggested FORCO...nothing to lose. In 2 weeks he turned around. This was 2 years ago. I bought 1 50 lb bag and another 25 lb tub. I was feeding it to all my horses, but he was the one with a problem. He gained back all his weight, and has been fine ever since.
I have not fed it again, just because it's hard for me to get it. I have to order it, no one carries it and I just never have the money at the right time.
But I credit it to saving his life.

| Absolutely love it.
I've used it on multiple horses, but the best testimonial was on a mare who would colic multiple (4-6) times a year. We chalk it up to being ulcer related. Ever since starting her on Forco we maybe have an upset tummy issue once or twice a year.
You will definitely notice a difference within 2-4 weeks. I like keeping them on it daily year round. |

| I have used it in the past with great results. I had a horse that had HIVES huge welts covered head to toe about every 2 weeks. He could no longer have dex, allergy shots didnt work. I tried forco and it worked GREAT. No more hives. I no longer have that horse but I currently use Depauolo Excel which has pre biotics in it like forco but also ulcer prevent ingredeints as well. But forco is a quality product. ! |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | FORCO has only one job and that is to keep the digestive system balanced at it's maximum level that in turn enables the horse to digest his food and absorb the nutrients at the highest level.

Location: South Dakota | I have tried various supplements through the years...Forco is the only one that I make sure to never run out of....my previous ulcery mare, after treating with ulcerguard, put her on Forco, and she has not had a ulcer bout since...she is bloomy, on grass hay, a small amount of oats, with daily Forco. |

| I love it. You will see results fairly quickly and it will keep picky ones eating on the road! Quick question, does anyone know what the major differences are in Forco and Brewers yeast?

FORCO is a combination of enzymes and yeast cultures. |

| I just got another 10 lbs of it. I love it. I've tried the fastrack in its place so I could avoid shipping but I just really like the way my horses respond to the forco a lot better. The horses seem to like the taste of it over anything else I've tried.. oh and my chickens and barn cats love the forco as well if I spill a little they eat it right up! |

| I have used it in the past. Had good results. I have changed to Vitalize High Performance. It has everything you need for colic and ulcer prevention.

| I feed Forco to all 3 of the geldings at my barn- one being my boarder who looked like crap when he showed up. I LOVE Forco and wouldn't ever go without feeding it. |
