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.

Hi Charlotte,
Quiessence is excellent for attitude, since it protects the muscles and nervous system. The dosage should be 2 to 3 ounces per 500 lbs of body weight.
But, Quiessence does not provide vitamins and minerals to fill in nutritional gaps in the diet. Glanzen Lite, if your horses get pasture, or Glanzen Lite Complete, if they are mostly on hay, would be beneficial to round out the diet. And, you can feed Quiessence along with Glanzen.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
