This message is from: "Gail Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Has anyone gotten along the way learned "standards" for analyzing horse poop? I saw my vet reach into the back of a horse's mouth who was eating hay, and pull out half chewed wads of hay....saying "look at this...he needs his teeth floated." On occasion she has kicked apart manure piles to see if the hay looks well-chewed. However, I did not learn the standard she was using to view the hay piles. I have horses with manure that is in loosely formed balls. The balls contain hay that is at least 1/4 inch long...maybe as much as 1/2.
Has anyone learned how to evaluate horse manure for dental problems? What was coming out was poorly-formed wads of half-ground hay, in brown water.
