Re: what do you think of this feed

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,

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%.
