Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.

Hi Lynette,
I always welcome your comments!
Yes, the Safe Choice and Accel have calcium added to balance out additional phosphorus. Depending on the calcium content in your hay, and how much flaxseed you're feeding, it may be important to use a flaxseed product, such as Nutra Flax, because it has the added calcium.
To let you know specifics regarding the exact amounts of calcium and phosphorus, I would need to do some analysis for you.
Best regards,
Dr. Getty
