Member Posts: 28 Location: Pennsylvania	I bought some alfafla cubes yesterday and was going to soak them to add GastroPLUS to to be sure my horse would get all the GastroPLUS. He can sometimes be a little picky with powders. I had a really hard time figuring out how much water to add, and how long to soak the cubes for before I fed them. Do you leave them whole, or break them up? I've never delt with cubes before, just pellets or regular hay. I would love to hear some suggestions!

I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	I add enough water to cover the cubes and soak them for about 15 minutes or more, wait for the cubes to absorb the water and add supplements and stir.

I feed soaked alfalfa daily. Good luck!

Expert Posts: 1207	I soak mine in hot water with beet pulp in the mornings, probably about 30-45 minutes before I go out to feed. Doesn't take as long with hot water and by the time I get to the barn it is cool enough to mix with my feed and supplements.
