Expert Posts: 2604 Location: Texas	That is the product I am using. I am only up to feeding 1 tsp twice per day. Trying to work them up to eating the full recommended scoop. Do you have any problems getting your horse to eat the full amount? My horses don't get a lot of "feed", 1/2 lb Renew Gold and 1/2 lb Alfalfa Pellets twice per day. So not a whole lot to hide the strong smelling garlic in. But I am hopeful that if I go slow I can eventually work up to the full recommended amount. Do you find it takes the full 1-2 scoop recommended amount to be effective?

I just give one scoop a day with feed. That's it. It has always worked good for this mare. She's very sensitive to fly spray, and handles the garlic with ease.
