Ask the Nutritionist: Dr. Getty's Forum for Equine Nutrition
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.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.
All the best,

Hi Pam,
I am so pleased to be able to offer this new product, Glanzen Complete. You would not need to feed it with a commercial ration, such as Safe Choice, unless you are only feeding a small amount of Safe Choice. But, if you are feeding it according to directions, there are already vitamins and mineral added, so a comprehensive multiple such as Glanzen Complete would not be necessary. Sometimes, other individual supplementation is warranted, however, to meet the particular horse's needs.
Regarding the dosage for your minis... I recommend feeding 3/4 of a scoop (this is 1.5 ounces by weight and 3 ounces by volume). (The scoop that is provided is 4 ounces by volume, but it weighs only 2 ounces.)
Thanks so much for writing and for the lovely compliment!
