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 Cristine,
I hope you found the Easy Keeper teleseminar helpful. I don't think I addressed this specific issue of feeding less of a higher NSC feed to create an overall lower NSC diet (than if you were to feed more of a low NSC feed). But it's simply a matter of calculating the amount of sugar/starch you're feeding overall.
All the best,

My question is are you going to address this topic at thursday nights teleseminar?? I hope so. I have two easy-keepers and wouldn't miss this seminar for anything. Turned down a going-away party to listen!!
