Super Calm

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Horse owners are happy to purchase ‘calming’ or ‘non-heating’ products because of the potential benefit.  Most of these feeds include low sugar ingredients such as beet pulp or other ‘super fibers’ such as Equine Biotic Super Calm and in addition, it is supplemented with fat to provide non-sugar calories for the horse.  Overall, these feeds generally contain lower sugar content, thus potentially resulting in less negative behavior if fed correctly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title="Benefits:" tab_id="1531647598817-8de2a7a0-31e1"][vc_column_text] Low in starch and sugar to reduce risk of...

Show Horse

It is true that they do not have the same heavy training sessions that racing or jumping horses have, but still they must be fed specifically for their (at least) one-hour a day sessions. In addition, having a robust, strong and shining body is what a standard concentrate must...

Working through the weaning commotion

Working through the weaning commotion As one of the biggest variables in calf care, the proper timing for weaning can be widely inconstant from calf to calf. Weaning is definitely not a one-size-fits-all activity. In fact, there are almost as many weaning strategies out there as there are dairy farms, and many of them are quite successful. Weaning doesn’t just vary from farm to farm. A recent study at the University of British Columbia showed a great amount of variation also exists from...

Are your calves parched?

Are your calves parched? Help your calves withstand the intense summer heat. While some might be enjoying the warmer weather, our calves, most likely, are not. How do we make sure that they remain comfortable during the intense summer heat? Water is the most essential nutrient of them all. Without it, we cannot survive. Calves receive much of their water needs through milk consumption. Yet, they must still have enough clean water to replenish daily water loss through urine, feces, skin, and respiratory...

CALF HEAT ABATEMENT STRATEGIES

Many producers tend to focus most of their heat abatement efforts on their lactating cows due to the immediate decline in milk production. Often the calves are forgotten about because the production responses are less apparent. However, as previously heat-stressed calves continue through life, growth and production will be depressed when compared to nonheat-stressed calves. Nutrition During heat stress, calves must use more energy to regulate their core body temperature, which requires them to consume more nutrients to meet this need. Research conducted...
