   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.

what do you think of this feed

Hi Dr Getty,

I have just found this feed and was wondering what you thought about it. Specicifcally for Ir, metabolic syndrome and Cushings type horses requiring a low NSC. I spoke to a company rep and they said the max NSC for it is 10% and the average is 9%.

Hi Jamie,

I am very familiar with Triple Safe Starch and highly recommend it for horses needing a low NSC diet. It is forage -- looks like hay -- along with vitamins and minerals. Good choice!

All the best,
