Re: Need opinion on my yearling

Thank you very much Dr. Getty. I have placed an order for Ration Plus. I am feeding her Ultra Bloom, so I am going to wait on the Nutra Flax because the Bloom is supposed to be about the same thing and I can access it easier here. Thanks again.

Re: Need opinion on my yearling

Hello Chelsea,

Ultra Bloom is a stabilized rice bran product, not flaxseed meal, like Nutra Flax. Rice bran does not contain any omega 3 fatty acids, so while it has additional fat, it is not as effective in her overall health as flaxseed meal.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
