This message is from: Tanya Manser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a Fjord that scours when fed lower fibre forage (like grass or rich haylage). In fact about two weeks ago she had a nasty bout of Azoturia which we are attributing to a particular big bale of haylage. I have found that by increasing the dry matter fibre she gets really helps the situation. Over here in the UK we have a chaff called Hi-Fi Lite http://www.dengie.com/pages/products/fibre-feed/hi-fi-lite.php . It is dried alfalfa/lucerne and straw, 40% fibre and very low sugar - presumably you have something similar there? I have found that feeding her significant quantities of this keeps enough fibre in her diet to get her gut working healthily. Good luck with your Fjord!
