I feed alfalfa cubes and Renew Gold. Without the FORCI, my horse has a gas problem. Each horse is an individual and you need to feed accordingly.

This is exactly what I did-when Miss Kathie told me to base Dan's needs on Dan-and it truly worked for us for those last months.

Love Forco ... it's a staple in my feed room. Everything gets it on the property... horses, dogs and our chickens get some mixed in with their layer crumbles. Inexpensive, effective and simple.

I am not having a specific problem. A local girl I know says she feeds it, and I feel her horses always look amazing even in the dead of winter. Fat with slick, shiney coats. I feed my horses well, but I feel like they look like they’re missing something and I can’t quite put my finger on what.

I’ve fed this to my horses with great results! Love forco  

But I have a question, those that feed it to your dogs. Is it the regular horse forco that you feed your dog? How much?

I have a 50 lb cow dog that has a poor hair coat (losing hair) and lost weight and poor appetite. I was thinking of trying it on her along with her silver lining herbs.

It's all the same. I feed about a tablespoon mixed in their food.

Exactly what we do for our 3!

Oh this was my favorite random research topics of last year.... well the probio vs prebio because thats a big part of this. The ONLY analogy i could understand was this:

Your stomach has little army guys (good bacteria)... things like wormer, antibiotics kill them.

PRObiotics - replenish your little army guys whereas

PREbiotics - strengthen the ones you already have.

I love Forco for daily maintenance - my gelding was able to finally be pulled off every weight supplement i tried. He never had "bad guts" from what i knew but it he was on good food. He finally was getting enough of his good food.

 

You're all welcome for my little analogy but seriously the only way i could understand this
