I got my horse hair analysis results from ANJA Equine today, and was told a few things I didn't expect.

She is currently fed Renew Gold and Purina Outlast, and ANJA said to stop feeding both of those. ANJA said while she isn't testing that she's allergic to any of the individual ingredients in Renew Gold, she is reacting negatively to Renew Gold in general. I don't quite understand that, but the way it was explained to me is her body can't use the ingredients well (?).

I'll take her off the Outlast and start her on U-Guard pellets. Among other things, she's got a Lysine deficincy, so I've ordered that as well.

There are several other recommendations made that I can understand, but I'm having a hard time not continuing to feed the Renew Gold if she's not allergic to it. She looks great, good coat, and I'm hoping maybe adding the Lysine and a gut health supplement that she's not allergic to could help her utilize the Renew Gold like she should.

Any thoughts on this? The only "replacement feed" offered was to mix my own feed with timothy pellets and raw rice bran.

send me a single mane and single tail hair and a $100 bill and I will custom build you a feed program. 

This is a one time offer and my price goes up on Oct. 1st 

• First time I have had someone say anything like this, and I have heard some strange things. 

Okay, that makes me feel better. I decided to keep feeding the Renew Gold and just switch to a different ulcer prevention and added Lysine. 

I am trying to take what she said with a grain of salt because she did come off like quite the salesperson, but I also want my horse to feel good ????‍??

Lysine is inexpensive and some roughage is low. It is very easy to supplement. Renew Gold is a good lysine source, but will not make up for a severe deficiency in the roughage. 

I also have talked to her too.  and I did try to follow what she said bc what I was doing wasnt working.  But her way wasnt working either. 

I took away the pain of one horse that I didnt know he had and he bloom in a week! so changing and trying to figure out all the feed crap didnt matter!

You have a lot of variables to consider: your pasture is it really high in iron? I also have high selenium that I tested 1 horse and he was so close to toxic level.  Our area we have high selenium in our pastures.  stuff like that. 

If you dont want to test you can call your extension office and they can tell you what your area is like.

By the way she has helped alot of horses and I have seen them do great on her program!  But its not one size fits all!
