Location: Texas! | We switched about a month ago and so far I'm very happy with the results. They have a round bale 24/7 and get15-18 lbs a day of the omnis. I keep slat and a loose mineral from Stride animal hleath out as well. They all eat it well and take several hours to clean up. I like how soft and easy to break up they are. |

Location: LouLouVille, OK | Herbie - 2018-01-17 10:48 AM ND3canAddict - 2018-01-17 10:37 AM They are the Omnis cubes. Another quick question. We bought a horse this fall who (according to the breeder/original owner) cannot tolerate oats. She fed him Nutrena Fuel, which I bought and have been feeding him, although I'm not a nutrena fan. She said she ran blood on him and was told he doesn't handle starches very well...
At 15% oats, I'm wondering if he can tolerate this? I hate to trial and error, as he's a pretty nice barrel horse and feed through issues can take a while to show up and resolve.
Thoughts? IMO there is a big misconception about oats. I have fed whole oats for several years with alfalfa and either flax or BOSS and have never had any issue. I also know others who said the same thing about oats, but when they fed oats as they should be fed, about a pound per feeding, they have not had issues either. I know PSSM horse who have done well on alfalfa and whole oats. It's all about the volume of oats and if utilized correctly, it's very beneficial in the performance horse diet.
Danco also offers the Omega cubes that do not have the whole oat in them, but rather double the flax and a blend of alfalfa and another grass hay, either brome or orchard grass (not sure here), for those who are adamant their horses can't tolerate the oats.
I personally want the oat in the diet for many reasons and that is one of the main things I love about this cube in particular.
I have just started feeding the cubes that Herbie is talking about, the Omega Plus (some call them Mustang Sally) but my horses absolutely LOVE them.... so much so... that my one filly, in the afternoon feeding, I give them a small amount of baled alfalfa from Nebraska, and she will throw her alfalfa out on the ground to get back to her cubes! LOL I said she doesn't like corn in her mashed potatoes! lol These have no oats, but alfalfa and I believe Timothy grass mix...
I don't totally trust any cube persay, so I spray them with hot water, not soak, but spray because these do fall apart much easier then the bricks you buy in the local stores. and they love them. I started on this almost a month and half ago and so far I am thrilled. I do top dress with Blue Bonnet Omega Force, for the minerals, Vit E, Biotin and all that just to make myself feel better, but I couldn't be happier with them....

The Mustang Sally cube is just alfalfa, nothing else. It is what I feed. The Omega is alfalfa/grass with flaxseed added, I think. I would love to feed the Omega, but with it being more expensive and I have several to feed, I go with the Mustang Sally. I am really glad people are liking the Omega, though and hope to change over to it this summer. |

I tried feeding the OMNIS cubes to my gelding that can't tolerate oats. He didn't tolerate the oats either and the mice, that I never had a problem with, were having a field day. I went to the Mustang Sally Cubes and loved them until I started to have consistency problems and my horse wouldn't eat one batch.
I'm now feeding the Hay-Rite mini alfalfa cubes. At first I thought they were too hard but my horse loves them and he eats them slow and produces a lot of saliva.

They are the ones I got a few bags from last spring. It wasn’t too bad of a drive and the guy was willing to bring some to Fargo as he comes regularly but I couldn’t get my mare to eat the cubes last year. My chubby gelding and every other horse I gave them to loved them. I would be willing to try again once I have a place of my own. My mare was still getting over some issues last spring and was picky about everything. She isn’t as picky anymore and eats everything in sight now days. I was just hoping there was some even closer lol! |
