Hi list, We have consistently fed beet pulp and added Cocosoya for the horses that needed it and had great success. Beet pulp not only is a great way to get weight on, it helps keep the ol' digestive system going properly. For our oldsters, with ground down teeth, have mixed the beet pulp very wet, which allows them to suck it down. Good Luck. Carol Prairie Duster in Michigan
Re: Help
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Have you had his teeth checked? My 27 yr old morgan has a few loose molars and can't eat hay anymore. She's eating Dengie instead and gets beet pulp for lunch. She's getting the dengie 5X a day to keep her gut full too. The dentist says it will be about a year and she'll need to be eating soft foods only. It must be hard getting old :-( Kate in CT owned by Baldur the wonder fjord graduate B pony clubber MysticPonyClub egroups moderator ARIA certified riding instructor Professional Braider
Re: Help
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, I wouldn't be too anxious to put weight on him just yet. If the feet are sore or he does have laminitis than a little less weight on those feet would be good for him. Get the feet in shape and then worry about the weight. When he is sound and you think you are out of the woods with founder, than you can increase the calories. I would go with higher fat, like Purina Strategy or by adding corn oil to your Senior.

Re: Help
This message is from: Vivian Creigh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean Ernest7/2/01 8:14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have also read that an oil mixture called COCOSOYA is more palatable than corn oil. It is also 20% more digestible than ordinary corn and vegetable oil. Uckele has it, 5 gallon jug is $29.95. I tried the COCOSOYA from Uckele and found it no more palatable than corn oil. Beth Valentine who does research on EPSM advised me to just buy cheap corn oil as it does the trick and is easy to come by in bulk at WalMart's and Sam's stores. It takes awhile before the ponies eat it with anything bordering on enthusiasm. I'd stay away from bran as it interferes with absorbtion of certain minerals. Beet Pulp is always a good choice for adding calories without protein. Good Luck, Vivian Creigh

Re: Help
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jean, Corn oil is better (and cheaper) than wheatgerm oil..you can feed up to 2 cups a day..if you can get him to eat it., a problem if you are not feeding much grain. I have also read that an oil mixture called COCOSOYA is more palatable than corn oil. It is also 20% more digestible than ordinary corn and vegetable oil. Uckele has it, 5 gallon jug is $29.95. I read (am looking for the article in a back issue) in The Horse Journal, that beet pulp is a good way to put weight on in case of founder, and you can add the Cocosoya to the beet pulp. UCKELE can be reached online : http://www.uckele.com Phone 1-800-292-0014 Rice bran is also good for putting on weight. I hope this helps.

Re: Help
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am no expert, but do know that you can put weight on an old horse by feeding oils. We used Costco corn oil...comes in 2.5 gallon containers. You need to find a vehicle to carry it...one with the least amount of carbs possible. We used soaked beet pulp, with oil thoroughly mixed in. Our old rescue QH...when we finally had him put down because of unrelenting arthritic painwas nice and fat. If he is a fussy eater you may have to get him better quality oil. The Wesco corn oil from Costco smelled rancid to me the day we bought it. For starters, I would try the smaller containers from the grocery store while you experiment. Olive oil has a nice neutral taste. Now I have only been able to feed him grass hay, last years, and enough grain to get his meds down him. He is losing weight rapidly, back and ribs becoming pronounced. What can I feed him to improve his weight yet not over burden his system? Would wheat germ oil help? Is bran to hot?
