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,
Dr. Getty
Hello Marian,
This product has not be discusssed in any of the major horse publications or journals so I cannot speak to its efficacy. If you come across any literature on it (other than the advertisement for the product), please let me know.
There was a recent article in The Horse about the causes of EPM and there is conjecture that it may be caused by exposure to cats. Its incidence also appears to be higher in horses that are involved in speed events. But this requires further investigation.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
