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
Hi Molly,
I hope you're successful in getting your fellow all the hay he needs. And, yes, you can feed it in his stall. Turnout is very helpful for him, if possible, at the safer times of day, during the early morning hours.
This time of year, of course, there is little grass to be concerned about.
Carb Guard can be fed according to directions, so a 1000 lb horse at maintenance can receive .25 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight -- so that's 2.5 lbs per day.
Keep me posted!
